Supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action Could Impact Diversity in Texas Colleges and Ivy League Schools.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on two cases challenging whether it is legal for public and private universities to consider a student’s race in college admissions. Legal and education policy experts are preparing for the court’s conservative majority to possibly put an end to the use of race in college admissions, which would change how some universities select their students. If that happens, it would largely impact Texas’ private institutions and its most selective public university: the University of Texas at Austin, which is the only public university in the state that still considers race in undergraduate admissions.
