Russell K. Nieli writes in this opinion paper that as far as the ability of state colleges and universities to use race as a criteria for admission goes, "Fisher v. Texas" was a big disappointment, and failed in the most basic way. Nieli states that although some affirmative action opponents have tried to put a more positive spin on the Court's 7 to 1 decision favoring Abigail Fisher, the bottom line is that the "Fisher" decision will change very little and do nothing to stop academic administrators intent to maintain the racial bean counting and quota- like admissions policies that have been in effect now at leading universities for the last forty years.
