legal covenant that binds together our multi-racial, multi-ethnic nation. the polarizing stigmatizing and unfair jurisprudence that allowed colleges and universities to use a student s race and ethnicity as a factor to either admit them or reject them has been overruled. these discriminatory admissions practices undermined the integrity of our civil rights laws. ending racial preferences in college admissions is an outcome that the vast majority of all americans, of all races, will celebrate. a university doesn t have real diversity when it simply assembles students who look different but come from similar
