They can still use a point system. They just can't give points for being a particular color (i.e., black) per se. Clearly, by rigging the numbers, they could have admitted a desired quota of blacks. In fact, this is what they did. They backed into the "20 point" advantage by computing the number of points that would be necessary to insure that the overall racial component at the school would be reflective of the proportions in the overall national population. So, if you want your campus to be 12% black, yor reverse engineer the weighting for race on the the application to accomplish this. SCOTUS ruled correctly that this (obviously, to me) was contrary to The Constitution.
