It’s a slam dunk civil rights violation, but I doubt the courts will remedy it.
See O’Connor’s opinion in the 2003 racial preference (Grutter v. Bollinger college admission) case, where she says anti-white racial bias isn’t unconstitutional “then,” but will be in 25 years. 25 years isn’t up, yet.

The Court takes the Law School at its word that it would like nothing better than to find a race-neutral admissions formula and will terminate its use of racial preferences as soon as practicable. The Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.
Dems would be smart to fix the program and remove the race-based element, because it is likely that given the opportuntiy to address it again, the Court will use langugage broad enough to strike down all race-based preferences.
>>It’s a slam dunk civil rights violation,
One of Obama’s AGs (Holder, iirc) stated openly that white people have no civil rights protections under law.
