the cases involve the university of north carolina and harvard. what are the potential outcomes? f them. we have decades of precedent currently upholding the educational benefits of diversity. this is policy the higher education world has worked within for decades now. students and society have benefited from looking at the educational benefits of diversity. overturning this would be a radical move at this point. we have seen radical decisions from this court already this year. i think potentially they could make individualized holistic review harder for colleges. they may talk about more race neutral strategies schools should use which is an important part of any enrollment policy plan for an institution. they don't address everything. we have seen that with the university of california back in august. they have noted since california outlawed affirmative action in 1996, representation has dropped dramatically across campuses despite race neutral policies they have tried to institute. university of michigan is in a similar situation, also filed a similar brief with the same concl

this was a challenge to race-based affirmative action programs at harvard and the university of north carolina univer universities and colleges across the country. colleges responded that racial diversity is a legitimate goal that we are entitled to consider. if you listen to the arguments here, it seemed to break along ideological lines, the six conservatives seemed inclined to strike down affirmative action, the three liberals seemed inclined to hold it up. so it seems quite possible that we are going to see an end to race-based admissions in colleges and universities. i expect a decision towards the end of the supreme court's term, so looking at may or june. >>> and they have a case that could change the way we vote for our elected leaders. >> yes. this goes right to the heart of our democratic process. this comes out of a dispute in north carolina. the state legislature redrew the district lines in 2020 but then the state supreme court struck it down saying the way you've done this is unconstitutional. the constitution said it's up to each state legislature how to draw congressional lines,
