Herein we will read the ruling, explain what’s going on in “For Dummies” fashion, and take a look at the likely mathematical impacts of it.
The upshot is this: Outside of some sidebar non-majority opinions there’s no substantive change in the law. They didn’t overturn anything, change anything, or add anything new. Harvard and UNC were pimp slapped for failing to follow the limitations on Affirmative Action which were already set in place in 2003 by the Grutter v. Bollinger ruling. As universities became more and more “woke” since 2003, their admission practices became increasingly racially discriminatory and strayed farther from the rules established in Grutter. Universities have not only been discriminating against whites in favor of underrepresented minorities, they’ve been discriminating even more so against minority Asians. The Supreme Court simply stepped in to remind everyone what the rules have been since 2003.
In short, the “Equal Protection Clause” of the United States Constitution is not an “Equal Outcome Clause,” and never has been.
Enrollment would look very different if these rule clarifications go into effect as intended, but the most likely result is simply that the universities start measuring things differently to maintain their preferred race mix to dodge the ruling entirely.
