The US Supreme Court Has Upheld The Northern State Of Michigan's Ban On Using Race As A Factor In College Admissions. The 6 To 2 Ruling Tuesday Rejected A Challenge To A Measure Passed By Referendum In 2006. The Measure Changed The State Constitution To Prohibit So-Called Affirmative Action In College Admissions. Affirmative Action Is the Practice Of Giving Special Consideration To Racial Or Ethnic Minorities. The Goal Is To Make Up For Discrimination That Has Led Such Groups To Be Under-Represented. The Supreme Court Decision Reverses A Lower Federal Court Ruling That Had Thrown Out The Michigan Ban. Voters In California And Washington State Have Passed Similar Initiatives To Bar Affirmative Action In Education, While Other States Have Adopted Laws Or Issued Executive Orders To Prohibit The Practice.
