Corporations struggling to develop a qualified pipeline of Black and Latino talent soon may face additional challenges in reaching their diversity and recruitment goals. It all depends on how the Supreme Court rules in the Fisher v. University of Texas case.
The lawsuit before the court on Wednesday could result in the reversal of the college’s affirmative-action admissions policiesand potentially deem all instances of race-based criterion in higher-education admissions “unconstitutional.” This would overturn the landmark Grutter v. Bollingerdecision in 2003, which upheld the use of race as one of multiple factors when determining acceptance.
