(Washington Composite Electric) The Supreme Court of the United States announced that the ban on American universities from using race as a consideration in the process of enrollment.Efforts will cause a major blow.
The Supreme Court on Thursday (June 29) with six votes in favor and three votes against the voting results, ruled that the "Affirmative Action" enrollment plan of Harvard University and North Carolina was unconstitutional.
The two universities are the oldest private and public universities in the United States.Harvard University has been accused of deliberately discriminating against Asian applications during the enrollment process for many years; the University of North Carolina was prosecuted to prefer black people, Latin and American aborigines during enrollment, discriminating against whites and Asians.
The majority of opinions written by the chief judge Roberts pointed out that although the equal rights are "goodwill", it cannot continue forever and constitute discrimination illegally.He said, "You must treat them according to the students' personal experience, not race."
Opinions said that when the university weighing the admission opportunities should give the ethnic minority or the students with high academic qualifications, they can freely consider the applicant's background, such as whether they have experienced racial discrimination during the growth process.However, it is mainly based on whether the applicant is white, black, or other races to decide whether to get an admission opportunity. This is racial discrimination.
Harvard University issued a statement saying that it will abide by the court's ruling and abolish the enrollment plan with racial consciousness to maintain the values of higher education diversity and opportunities.
Biden: To overthrow the "equal rights action" policy or cause great harm
U.S. President Biden said he was extremely disappointed and said that the United States still had discrimination.He believes that American universities can only maintain strong racial diversification.
Biden also said that the Supreme Court consisting of six conservatives and three liberal judges was not a "normal" court."We can't make this decision the final decision, there are still discrimination in the United States."
But Biden believes that adding judges in the Supreme Court will be a "error".Biden said in an interview with the Microsoft Broadcasting Corporation (MSNBC) on Thursday that the Supreme Court overthrowing the university's enrollment equal rights operation may cause great harm. "But if we start trying to expand the size of the court, we may always make it politically.This is unhealthy. "
Liberal judge Jackson, who held opposition to the Supreme Court's judgment, said in the objections that the verdict was "a tragedy"; another word for liberal judges with opposition, Solomar, was more sharp.EssenceShe criticized the court to consolidate the skin blindness rules as the constitutional principle, and said that this ruling further exacerbated racial inequality in the field of education.
