The Supreme Court on Feb. 20 declined to review a controversial admissions policy meant to increase diversity at one of the nation's most prestigious high schools , turning away a challenge from a group of Virginia parents claiming it violated the Constitution., the USA Today website reports today (Feb. 21, 2024).
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas disagreed , writing they would have overturned a lower court's decision upholding the policy.
The decision came months after the Supreme Court ended the use of affirmative action at Harvard and the University pf North Carolina. Otrher universities, schools, and businesses have been scrambling to react to that ruling, reviewing diversity policies to ensure they can withstand the court's scrutiny.
