Good news, but schools will find a way to end-run this ruling. Abolish all standardized tests. Count the number of apostrophes and hyphens in names. Assign admission essays explaining how tough life was in the ghetto without a daddy present.

Fine, it will open them up to lawsuits and drain their multi million dollar endowments.

So it will no longer be official policy but no doubt will remain their practice

At least 40 years late on these rulings and doubtless now colleges will do every single last thing they can to keep racially discriminating without officially admitting they are....y’know.....racially discriminating, but it will take several more rounds of rulings followed by lawsuits and some hefty damage awards handed out to White and Asian students who will continue to be discriminated against but who knows? Maybe in a decade or so the racial discrimination can at least be pruned back - a little.

woo hoo - to end discrimination by discriminating is one of those headscratching leftie logic points that has been so hard to live with. yes they’ll try to get around it, but they should beware of being recorded as they plot to do so. lawsuits will ensue. for now, it’s a great day!

As I understand, there are some subjective criteria used in admissions decisions, and some of those could be more prominent.

For example, they might admit more from certain disadvantaged backgrounds, regardless of race and ethnicity, and use such plans to admit more minority group members. But they would say they aren’t using racial criteria, they are using criteria which apply to everyone.

“reeing”?

Hmmm, “screaming”? Yep.
“peeing”...probably that, too, and right in their pants. But quietly.
