The group accused the schools of unfairly considering race in their admissions processes, highlighting the rejection of high-scoring Asian American and white applicants.<\/p>\n<p>The court ruled that Harvard&#8217;s race-based admissions programs violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>In a six to three vote in the University of North Carolina case and a six to two vote in the Harvard case, the court found in favor of ending race-based admissions policies. Justice Jackson, a Harvard graduate and former Harvard board member, recused herself from the Harvard case.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion, &#8220;Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.&#8221; The court&#8217;s decision does not prohibit universities from considering an applicant&#8217;s discussion of how race affected their life, but it does reject the establishment of race-based regimes.<\/p>\n<p>Justices Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor both wrote dissents. Jackson described the majority&#8217;s decision as a tragedy and argued that ignoring race would only prolong the existence of racism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 25\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>\u201cAlthough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/clarence-thomas-blasts-ketanji-brown-jacksons-racist-worldview-cancerous-to-young-minds\/\" title=\"Clarence Thomas criticizes Ketanji Brown Jackson's 'racist' worldview as harmful to young minds.\">formal race-linked legal barriers<\/a> are gone, race still matters to the lived experiences of all Americans in innumerable ways, and today\u2019s ruling makes things worse, not better,\u201d Jackson wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the colleges of this country are required to ignore a thing that matters, it will not just go away.
