高院2003年landmarking的Bollinger case的opinion是說要individualized and holistic review of each applicant's file. That's essentially how AA works for the last 20 years in stead of just filtering a pool of applicants. 大學錄取考慮individual situation的時候,race是一個重要的考量。現在的opinion 原文:The student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual : not on the basis of race. 現在的opinion明確的說要把這個race完全拿掉來考慮individual的情況。所以可以明確的說這是一個好消息。
事實上,大家可能也有感受,今年的亞裔學生錄得比以前也好。我們校報兩個月前就有寫文章,AA可能會被推翻。
