As Supreme Court Mulls Affirmative Action On Campus, The Left Pushes For More Privileges Based On Race And Gender

The Supreme Court has since weighed in on several affirmative action cases, with two more at Harvard and UNC  forthcoming, but thus far, have found that schools may consider race as part of the admissions process.
