The Supreme Court affirmative action decision is likely to impact racial equity in higher education. The Supreme Court decided Thursday to set new limits on affirmative action, striking down the current race-conscious admissions policies in place at University of North Carolina and Harvard University.

The decision, however, states that "nothing prohibits universi...
