Supreme Court Hears Arguments Regarding Use of Race in College Admissions
The Supreme Court began hearing arguments Monday in two cases that challenge the use of race-based considerations to determine who gets admitted to American colleges.
The arguments, which are expected to continue for several hours, stem from lawsuits against affirmative action in admissions at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
“Racial classifications are wrong,” attorney Patrick Strawbridge said in his opening argument on behalf of the group Students for Fair Admissions.
