Not only that but you have to be the right type of black congressman... J C Watts tried to join them and they rejected him...

Considering race "as a factor" for admission is not an issue, really. After all, colleges consider the children of alumni "as a factor" for admission.

The problem is quotas. The problem is artificially adding "points" to admission scoring based on race alone. This introduces discrimination of blacks and hispanics over whites and asians. Its wrong, and hopefully the Supreme Court will do more than produce a narrowly focused decision. They now have an opportunity to resolve some issues.

I'd be ecstatic to see colleges put a stop to that as well.

We must be talking about state colleges and not private colleges.

A private college could elect to allow the children of hindu elephant herders to be preferred if they so wish. They are PRIVATE!!

A publicly funded college, on the other hand, must permit ANY taxpayer to have equal access. If they get my money, then I should have some chance of attending. The best way to do it is probably by lottery of ALL who are fully qualified. (Notice that I didn't say BEST qualified.)

They can enable the BEST QUALIFIED to jump the lottery by providing them scholarships for academics, music, sports, whatever.

Then put the rest in a hat and draw names. Can't get more fair than that.

I have yet to hear any news media reporting that the 14th Amendment proscribes discrimination on the basis of race, period. This political "debate" should be about the repeal of the 14th, except that our pesky Constitution obstructs social planners.

The SCOTUS has only one ruling, aka reiteration, to make: our Constitution as amended forbids any and all race based discrimination.
