The US Supreme Court on Thursday banned the use of race and ethnicity in university admissions, overturning the decade-old practice that boosted educational opportunities for African-Americans and other minorities. The decision comes a year after the overturning of the Roe vs Wade case that guaranteed a woman바카라s right to have an abortion.

The court바카라s Conservative majority declared that race and ethnicity cannot be a factor in college admissions, forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.

Chief Justice John Roberts observed that for too long universities have 바카라concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual바카라s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the colour of their skin. Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice,바카라 as reported by Associated Press.

US President Joe Biden voiced his dissent saying he 바카라strongly, strongly바카라 disagrees with the ruling. 바카라They should not abandon their commitment to ensure student bodies of diverse backgrounds and experience that reflect all of America,바카라 Biden said from the White House, adding that colleges should evaluate 바카라adversity overcome바카라 by candidates.
