Supreme Court to hear affirmative action case
Washington - The Supreme Court Tuesday agreed to consider rolling back university affirmative action programs, re-entering a racially charged debate by accepting an appeal from a rejected white applicant to the University of Texas.
The appeal takes aim at a 2003 Supreme Court decision that let universities consider the race of their applicants to help ensure campus diversity. That ruling extended the life of affirmative-action programs begun decades ago at universities around the country. The court's decision Tuesday to hear the Texas case means those programs may be in jeopardy.
Universities have had the high court's blessing to use affirmative action since 1978, when a splintered court gave race-conscious admissions a limited endorsement in the landmark Regents of the University of California v. Bakke decision. The 2003 ruling reaffirmed Bakke and suggested affirmative action would be on solid legal footing for the next 25 years.
