A new Yahoo News/YouGov survey shows that opinions are mixed about race-based criteria for college admissions, ahead of a decision from the Supreme Court this week.
Harvard is a private institution, while UNC is a state school, meaning that the court could rule that race and ethnicity can be taken into account for students applying to one university but not the other. The plaintiff in both cases is the same group, Students for Fair Admissions, or SFFA.
In the UNC case, SFFA argues that the school is in violation of both Title IV and the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law. Edward Blum, founder of Students for Fair Admissions, speaks to reporters at a rally in Boston on Oct. 14, 2018. The survey found 38% support for “affirmative action policies that seek to include more people of a particular gender, race, sexuality, creed or nationality in areas where they are underrepresented, such as education and employment,” along with 35% opposition and 26% who were not sure.
