While passing on this judgment, the court even said that a university is allowed to consider an individual applicant’s personal experience — whether, for example, they grew up experiencing racism — in weighing their application over applicants more academically qualified. But if the decision is just on the basis of color, it is highly racial and discriminatory. With this, they tried to give equal opportunities to all, basically ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. “Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice,” said Chief Justice.
