Episode 13: Supreme Court ENDS Affirmative Action

Hello All! Welcome to this new episode of Coffee Date with the Constitution. In this episode, we will be talking about a recent SCOTUS case that has rocked the nation. The case Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College ended decades-long precedent, deeming affirmative action as unconstitutional and a violation of students' civil rights. This essentially means that universities can no longer use race as a factor in admissions processes. Today, I break down a bit of the oral arguments in this case, central points made by both the petitioners and respondents, and how schools and the country are attempting to move forward post-affirmative action.
