**US Supreme Court to Hear Case on Affirmative Action in College Admissions**.
**Introduction**.
Affirmative action, a policy designed to promote diversity and inclusion in various fields, including higher education, has been a subject of ongoing debate in the United States. The US Supreme Court is now set to hear a case that will have significant implications for the future of affirmative action in college admissions..
**Background**.
In October 2022, the Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases challenging the use of race as a factor in college admissions: *Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College* and *Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina*. These cases stem from allegations that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discriminate against Asian American applicants in their admissions processes..
The plaintiffs in the case, Students for Fair Admissions, argue that the universities’ consideration of race in admissions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits states from denying any person .
