But the Court once again maintains that the same standard of review controls judicial inspection of all official race classifications. Contemporary human rights documents draw just this line; they distinguish between policies of oppression and measures designed to accelerate de facto equality. Gratz v. Bollinger and Grutter v.

One can reasonably anticipate, therefore, that colleges and universities will seek to maintain their minority enrollment–and the networks and opportunities thereby opened to minority graduates–whether or not they can do so in full candor through adoption of affirmative action plans of the kind here at issue.
