The Supreme Court is weighing whether to uphold or ban affirmative action nationwide, a move that could permanently alter the way colleges admit students based on race.
The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing this week whether to uphold or ban affirmative action nationwide, a move which could permanently alter the way colleges admit students based on race.

The law includes using training programs, outreach efforts and other positive steps to boost diversity in workplaces and universities. Supreme Court cases between 1978 and 2016 involving white applicants being rejected from prestigious universities and then suing for discrimination serve as a precedent for affirmative action policy today — but Asian Americans are now at the center of the debate.
