From the article:

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that colleges can't explicitly consider applicants' race in admissions, a landmark ruling that will radically transform how colleges are able to attract a diverse student body.

There's also an article from the AP.

I feel like this actually drives a fair point. If people know that affirmative action isn’t used then they’ll be unable to argue about why “those people” whoever they are, must’ve gotten in. They’ll have to recognize they’re just as capable.
