Students applying to post-secondary schools following the Supreme Court's affirmative-action decision in college admissions are navigating a new landscape.

The court has rolled back the use of race in college admissions.

The Supreme Court on Monday takes up the use of race in college admissions in cases challenging affirmative action at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.

The Supreme Court will begin hearing two cases reconsidering the role race has in college admissions, including cases against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The DOJ pushed back, in part, on a report that the department is working on a new policy to investigate allegations of discrimination against white students.
