The Supreme Court ruled colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis in admissions — a landmark decision that overturns long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education.
Why? Colleges can still give preference to students who live in poor neighborhoods or bad school districts. What’s the problem with that approach?

my understanding was that affirmative action is about creating a diverse student body
Diversity of opinion, background, and perspective is important. Diversity of skin color is meaningless on it’s own.
