High court will hear case challenging affirmative action in college admissions

From The Washington Post: The U.S. Supreme Court said has agreed to reconsider whether affirmative action may be considered when public higher-education institutions choose which students to admit, revisiting a 2003 decision that allows race as a factor in admission decisions. The court will hear a white student’s contention that the University of Texas’s race-conscious admission policy cost her a spot in the freshman class. The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
