United States Supreme Court
Fisher v. University of Tex. at Austin, 14-981
In a suit brought by a plaintiff who was not in the top 10% of her high school class and was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin's 2008 freshman class, alleging that the University's consideration of race as part of its holistic-review process disadvantaged her and other Caucasian applicants, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause, the Fifth Circuit's judgment in favor of the University is affirmed where the race-conscious admissions program in use at the time of plaintiff's application is lawful under the Equal Protection Clause.
