Affirmative Action Case Decision
The Supremes have ruled in the Michigan affirmative action case....5-4 & 6-3 split decisions.
In two split decisions, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that minority applicants may be given an edge when applying for admissions to universities, but limited how much a factor race can play in the selection of students.
Just checked their site, looks like the opinion hasn't been posted yet. Should be interesting reading.
