A landmark case challenging affirmative action in college admissions reached the Supreme Court on October 10, 2012, as Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin made its debut before the justices. The dispute centered on whether race-conscious admissions policies violate the Constitution’s equal protection guarantees.

The case marked a pivotal moment in debates over racial equity and institutional autonomy in American universities.
