This decision overturns decades of precedent and has sparked widespread debate.<\/p>\n<p>The case centered around the admissions policies of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Harvard University. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-declines-to-block-new-yorks-vaccine-mandate-for-healthcare-workers\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Declines to Block New York's Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers\">court voted 6-3<\/a>, with justices from both political parties on each side of the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Sonia Sotomayor, along with Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote a strong dissent, arguing that the ruling perpetuates racial inequality in education. Sotomayor expressed her concern that the decision undermines progress and fails to address the ongoing racial disparities in society.<\/p>\n<p>Sotomayor emphasized that racial inequality remains a reality today and cannot be ignored. She stated, &#8220;Ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal. What was true in the past is still true today: Equality requires acknowledgment of inequality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ruling was the result of two separate cases brought by Students for Fair Admissions against Harvard University and UNC. The group alleged that these institutions discriminated against white and Asian students.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4028268\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/10\/02\/sotomayor-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t\tAssociate Justice Sonia Sotomayor sits during a group photograph of the Justices at the Supreme Court in Washington on April 23, 2021.

They also claimed that Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race-based discrimination in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-supreme-court-justices-dissent-in-major-affirmative-action-ruling\/\" title=\"3 Supreme Court Justices Disagree in Key Affirmative Action Decision\">programs receiving federal financial assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Sotomayor and Justice Jackson criticized the majority for making an exception for military academies, deeming it arbitrary. Jackson also expressed her disappointment that the ruling seemed to prioritize diversity for success in military settings rather than in corporate boardrooms.<\/p>\n<h2>Majority Opinion<\/h2>\n<p>In the majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, &#8220;The student must be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/taliban-intensify-search-for-afghans-who-helped-u-s-have-a-list-of-people-to-question-and-punish\/\" title=\"Taliban \u2018Intensify Search\u2019 For Afghans Who Helped U.S., Have A \u2018List Of People\u2019 To \u2018Question And Punish\u2019\">treated based<\/a> on his or her experiences as an individual\u2014not on the basis of race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roberts criticized universities that have prioritized race over individual achievements, arguing that true identity should be determined by personal challenges overcome, skills developed, and lessons learned, rather than the color of one&#8217;s skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Supreme Court overturned long-standing precedent, ruling that colleges cannot consider race in admissions.
