From the SCOTUS opinion:
> “Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise,” Roberts wrote.
Sure seems like proxies for race are if anything explicitly called out as being OK by SCOTUS rather than illegal.
- Levitz 3y agoFar from it, the point is that the lived experience of the individual matters, just not their race explicitly. The court recognizes the effects of race and recognizes them as valuable when considering a candidate, just not their race per se. If you allow me to be a bit cheeky, it values the content of their character over the color of their skin.
