On Monday June 27, in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, the United States Supreme Court ruled the Court vacates the Court of Appeals’ judgment and remands for the Court of Appeals to "assess whether the University has offered sufficient evidence [to] prove that its admissions program is narrowly tailored to obtain the educational benefits of diversity."
