Supreme Court rules on affirmative action

The Supreme Court's ruling means colleges and universities can no longer use affirmative action in their admissions policies. The court had allowed race to be used as a factor in admissions for decades so long as a school didn't use quotas. However, Thursday the court specifically found that Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had discriminated against white and Asian American applicants by using race-based admission policies in their attempts to promote diversity.
