[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the backlash doesn’t kill this, I hope the Supreme Court will. In Gratz v. Bolinger (2003), SCOTUS ruled that race-based point systems and quotas are unconstitutional, but gave schools some wiggle room in Fisher II (2013). The thing is, Fisher II was split 4–3 because Kagan recused herself and Scalia died before the decision was authored. A radically conservative SCOTUS would surely find some way to tear an “adversity score” apart. I’d welcome it. It’s time for affirmative action to die.[/quote] It’s not race based. So I’m not understanding where you’re seeing a constitutional angle. I suppose that, in some attenuated way, it could be linked to a race based approach in effect, and could be challenged by schools that accept federal funds. But that’s a real stretch. Seems perfectly ok to me. [/quote] NP: it is a stretch because it will capture poor white kids too, as well as low SES Asian kids. [/quote]
