•June 29 – Affirmative Action in University Admission Policy: US Supreme Court majority (6-3 with all three women judges dissenting) ruled affirmative action in college and university admissions unconstitutional (but leaves in place legacy admissions and affirmative action for military academies). Affirmative action in college and university admissions policy stemmed from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s in an effort to encourage diversity in higher education, matching the demographics of the population. Right-wing Students for Fair Admissions, the group that brought the case, files lawsuits over race-based university practices.
