Supreme Court tackles new affirmative action case

In the Supreme Court decisions to tackle new affirmative action cases this one caught my eyes because of the discrimination that is taking place till this very day and how it could get into the Universities' across the country. I could not help but to notice that the discrimination is not only against minorities but, women also. According to this article looking at the ways that discrimination is still taking place not with minorities, but with White women has an effect on the hold country.

The purpose was to stop the discrimination or preferential treatment in the public university admission decisions against minorities and women.

The jurisdictions of the criminal law related to this case became federal when the university is discriminating against minorities and women, but validation the U. S. Constitution. While, receiving federal grants from the federal government.
