The SCOTUS Made Several Decisions Over The Last Few Days
The court made a decision that changes the way colleges and universities go about accepting admissions.
The Supreme Court has been busy.
On Friday, the court limited LGBQ protections when it ruled in favor of a Christian web designer in Colorado who refused to create websites for same sex weddings out of religious objections.
The court also officially ruled against President Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness plan with a 6-3 vote.
On Thursday, the court made a decision that changes the way colleges and universities go about accepting admissions.
Justices specifically ruled against race-conscious student admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. They claimed those programs ‘violate the Equal Protection Clause of the fourteenth amendment’ by failing to offer ‘measurable’ objective to justify the use of race.
The 6-3 majority ruling struck down decades of legal precedent that allowed colleges and universities to consider race as a factor in admissions.
