California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and the University of California submitted friend-of-the-court briefs to the nation’s highest court on Monday to show support for the University of Texas, which is currently in the midst of a court case about affirmative action policy.
Though submitted separately, the briefs ask the Supreme Court to affirm a race-conscious admissions policy by the University of Texas. The case, Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, involves a white student who claims she was racially discriminated against because of the university’s consideration of race in its admissions decisions.
The ruling on Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin will be the Supreme Court’s first ruling on affirmative action in higher education since 2003, which allows public colleges and universities to consider race in order to ensure diversity on campus.
