PHOENIX — Two of Arizona's state universities say the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in Students for Fair Admissions. Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina will have no impact on them.In 2010, Arizona voters said yes to Proposition 107. It bans consideration of race, ethnicity or gender in hiring state employees, issuing of state contracts and deciding who gets enrolled in state universities.
"I think the decision by the Supreme Court is actually a great one because it says state-sanctioned racial discrimination is not okay," said State Representative Steve Montenegro.On Thursday, both Arizona State University and the University of Arizona said the Supreme Court decisions will have no impact on them.
"What I say is look what we need to do is to continue to move forward in understanding that we have to allow people to be themselves and judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin," State Representative Montenegro said. Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva called the Supreme Court ruling devasting and inconsistent with previous court findings.
