Skepticism of Race-Conscious College Admissions in Supreme Court

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court expressed skepticism towards race-conscious college admissions, signaling potential impact on workplace and anti-discrimination laws. Arguments centered around Harvard University and the University of North Carolina's policies, which consider race as a factor in admissions decisions. The court's scrutiny raises questions about the future of affirmative action and its duration. The 2003 precedent allowing race-conscious admissions may face reexamination, but the scope of the court's ruling remains uncertain. Issues such as anti-Asian discrimination in admissions have been raised, highlighting concerns around the fairness and effectiveness of such policies.
