14 Jun 2013 Jahr - Affirmative Action Revote

Beschreibung:

In Fisher v. University of Texas, Abigail Fisher, who is white, said her application was rejected because of an admissions policy that includes race as a factor for consideration. The Supreme Court rules that a lower court must rehear the case to "verify" that the policy is necessary and that no race-neutral alternative would offer the same benefits of diversifying the student body. Good that this is being looked at because of what happened in 2003. The case was decided in 2016 and sadly it was upheld but it was looked at which is a start.
