Should race be considered in college admissions? The debate has raged on since 1961, at least. Most recently, a 2003 landmark Supreme Court case ruled 5-4 that race can be used as a factor in admissions decisions. However, the Court also ruled that colleges cannot assign race to specific point or quota systems.
