This fall, the Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality of affirmative action in the landmark case of Fisher v. University of Texas, in which a woman claims she was denied admission to the school due to her race.

Riano explains what the outcome of this case could mean to higher education institutions and college applicants nationwide.
