Supreme Court To Hear K-12 Affirmative Action Case

Written by , Posted in The Courts, Criminal Justice & Tort

From SCOTUSBlog:

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider the use of race in student assignments in two urban school districts — the first time it will take up the affirmative action issue since its rulings in 2003 on college admissions. The cases are from Seattle and Louisville, Ky. The Court had examined the two cases six times before deciding to hear them. Argument will be held in the new Term opening in October. The cases are Parents Involved v . Seattle School District (05-908) and Meredith v. Jefferson City Board of Education (05-915).
