The United States Supreme Court has ruled that colleges must stop considering race as a factor in admission policies, dealing a setback to so-called affirmative action efforts aimed at boosting the enrolment of Black and Latino students at top universities.The top court’s decision on Thursday came in response to lawsuits challenging the policies of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina (UNC) that claimed race-conscious student admissions programmes discriminate against white and Asian-American applicants.It is the latest ruling by the conservative-dominated court that advances right-wing priorities.
