DECISION BELOW: 980 F.3d 157 CONSOLIDATED WITH 21-707 FOR ONE HOUR ORAL ARGUMENT. ORDER OF JULY 22, 2022: JUSTICE JACKSON TOOK NO PART IN THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS ORDER. CERT. GRANTED 1/24/2022
QUESTION PRESENTED:
1. Should this Court overrule Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306 (2003), and hold that institutions of higher education cannot use race as a factor in admissions?
2. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act bans race-based admissions that, if done by a public university, would violate the Equal Protection Clause. Gratz v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 244, 276 n.23 (2003). Is Harvard violating Title VI by penalizing Asian-American applicants, engaging in racial balancing, overemphasizing race, and rejecting workable race-neutral alternatives?
