The United States Supreme Court has had a significant role in the exploration and definition of affirmative action in this country. No more so than in the recent decisions related to the University of Michigan admissions cases. This article will explore the historical role of the U.S. Supreme Court and the decisions that this entity has made in affirmative action-related cases. Additionally, we will provide some recommendations that professionals in higher education should consider in attempting to respect the recent decisions of the Court.
