A 45-year legal precedent is being rolled back by the United States Supreme Court.

It's ruled against universities considering a prospective student's race, when deciding admissions.

It ends affirmative action, where colleges could take race into account in order to improve diversity.

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking President Joe Biden and the Democrats are slamming the decision.

Biden says money and power are factored in to decisions regarding prospective students, so diversity and the country's history of discrimination should be also.

The Supreme Court has six conservative-leaning justices, and three appointed by Democratic presidents.
