In a significant victory credited to conservative activists, the Supreme Court recently invalidated affirmative action programs at the University of North Carolina and Harvard. This ruling marked an end to the systematic consideration of race in the admissions process, as the court deemed both programs in violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.

Prominent conservatives have wholeheartedly embraced the decision, emphasizing the importance of a 'colorblind' Constitution. On the other hand, liberals have condemned the ruling, asserting that affirmative action is an essential tool to address historic race discrimination.

This verdict effectively overturned the court's previous ruling in 2003, known as Grutter v. Bollinger, which had allowed race to be considered as a factor in admissions due to the importance of maintaining diverse campuses.

The court's latest ruling, however, discarded decades of precedent, including a 1978 ruling that limited the consideration of race in university admissions as a means to combat historical discrimination against Black individuals and other minorities.
