Fisher v. University of Texas

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear another case involving affirmative action at the University of Texas. The case is Fisher v. University of Texas and concerns the factors the school takes into consideration in admitting the 19% of students who are not enrolled because they graduated in the top 10% of their class.

We will likely discuss this when we hit both civil rights and education policy.
