Abstract

2014 In Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, the Supreme Court upholds the Michigan constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2006 banning affirmative action. FEATURES FOR SOME TIME NOW, IT HAS BEEN a foregone conclusion among most observers that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised by next summer to end the practice by colleges and universities of using race as a factor in admissions. (Most colleges and universities in the U.S. don't rely on affirmative action because competition for admissions isn't that fierce. In taking up twin cases in which an anti-affirmative action group called Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) has sued a public school, the University of North Carolina (UNC), and a private one, Harvard University, the court appears ready to bar colleges from giving any weight to an applicant's race.
