The Supreme Court heard Fisher II back in December and, keeping up the pressure against racial preferences is another case, Shea v. Kerry (yes, our fabulous Secretary of State).

As we read in this NAS announcement, it has joined in an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to grant cert in Shea. The case isn’t specifically about racial preferences in hiring in higher education, but a strong ruling by the Court would impact college policies that are often stacked against applicants who aren’t classified as “underrepresented minorities.”

Advocates of racial preferences have a lot to worry about, I think. They’re on the wrong side of history.
