Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a challenge to race-neutral admissions criteria at three prestigious Boston high schools that aimed to increase the racial and economic diversity of their student bodies.Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that the schools have since changed the admissions policy, which 'greatly diminish the need for our review.' Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, disagreed with the decision not to hear the case.
They sought to bar the committee from implementing the plan.A federal district court sided with the school system, finding that the revised admissions criteria did not violate the Constitution and was racially race neutral. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit upheld that decision, finding in part that the Boston School Committee's use of neutral selection criteria to increase racial diversity was allowed by the Supreme Court.
