1:12.4	stories from international outlets this morning. The US Supreme Court overturned race-based college
1:19.1	admissions. The landmark ruling is a major blow to affirmative action, a policy that has been
1:25.2	used to increase diversity in higher education. The decision was made in two cases, one involving
1:31.7	Harvard University and the other the University of North Carolina. In both cases, the court ruled
1:38.1	that the university's race-conscious admissions policies violated Title 6 of the 1964 Civil Rights
1:45.5	Act, which bars discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The ruling was met with
1:52.4	mixed reactions. Some, including former President Donald Trump, hailed it as a victory for color
1:58.8	blindness and meritocracy. Others, including President Joe Biden and Harvard's President Lawrence
2:05.2	Bacow, expressed disappointment and warned that the decision would have a negative impact on
2:11.1	diversity in higher education. It is unclear how the ruling will affect admissions at Harvard and
2:17.3	UNC or at other universities that use race-conscious admissions policies. However, it is likely to lead
2:25.3	to a decrease in the number of black and Hispanic students at these schools. The ruling is also likely
2:31.5	to have a ripple effect on other areas of society where race is a factor, such as employment and housing.
