The Supreme Court is set to hear a case challenging affirmative action in college admissions:
The suit alleges that Harvard admissions use subjective criteria like "likeability" and "courage" that effectively sets a ceiling for the number of Asian American students admitted. It claims that Asian American students are disadvantaged by affirmative action, stereotyped as book-smart and one-dimensional. Harvard argues that it does not discriminate against Asian American applicants and that its admissions policies that consider race as a factor are lawful per recent SCOTUS rulings.
Do you think the SCOTUS will do away with affirmative action once and for all? Is affirmative action in college admissions still necessary? What is the future of affirmative action in the U.S.?

The court’s new conservative supermajority may be skeptical of admissions programs that take account of race to foster educational diversity.
