NEW YORK, July 27 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to effectively end race-conscious admissions in higher education last month was historic in its own right, removing a tool that the nation's colleges have used for decades to increase racial diversity on their campuses, reported The New York Times (NYT) on Wednesday.
But what started with affirmative action has morphed into a far broader reconsideration of fairness and privilege in college admissions and what it means for American higher education, said the report.
