The Importance of Education and Employing a Diverse Workforce

This term, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue opinions in two cases seeking to end the limited consideration of race in college admissions (SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC). The Plaintiff in each of these cases is Students for Fair Admissions, a group created specifically to challenge affirmative action in college admissions. While the two cases present slightly different claims and factual scenarios, the purpose of each case is to ask the Court to overturn existing legal precedent that allows colleges and universities to use race in a limited way when making admissions decisions.
