Washington Week with The Atlantic

Supreme Court decides Fisher v. University of Texas...again

Season 2016 | 3m 22s

Three years ago, the Supreme Court sent an affirmative action case involving college admissions back to a lower court and said "strict scrutiny" should be applied when examining the University of Texas's race-based policy. Well, the ambiguity of "strict scrutiny" led this week to round two in the case Abigail Fisher v. University of Texas.
