From SCOTUS:
"Held: Harvardās and UNCās admissions programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment"
"Respondentsā race-based admissions systems also fail to comply with the Equal Protection Clauseās twin commands that race may never be used as a ānegativeā and that it may not operate as a stereotype."
"Respondents admissions programs are infirm for a second reason as well: They require stereotypingāthe very thing Grutter foreswore. When a university admits students āon the basis of race, it engages in the offensive and demeaning assumption that [students] of a particular race, because of their race, think alike.ā Miller v. Johnson, 515 U. S. 900, 911ā912. Such stereotyping is contrary to the ācore purposeā of the Equal Protection Clause"
"Respondentsā admissions programs also lack a ālogical end pointā as Grutter required."
"Because Harvardās and UNCās admissions programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points, those admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause."
