The briefing comes in the wake of a 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court against affirmative action. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented in the Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College case. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented in the University of North Carolina case, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan. Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case due to her past service on the university board.
As a result of the court’s decision, colleges and universities are now prohibited from considering race during the admission process. The Supreme Court has been deliberating on this case since November.
