Supreme Court struck down affirmative action, but that won't stop Harvard

You probably think the Supreme Court just ended racial discrimination in university admissions, euphemistically called affirmative action, and a new day of equal treatment without regard to race or skin color has dawned. Yes, SCOTUS invalidated the race-conscious practices of Harvard and UNC, holding that under the 14th Amendment a "student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual – not on the basis of race." That is a very important statement of our guiding constitutional principles. Yet already schools like Harvard are suggesting they will skirt the ruling by considering applicants' experience with race as opposed to the applicants' race itself. These games are not surprising and have been in the works for months.
