- Wisconsin high court agrees that race-based college retention grants must go
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state must stop awarding race-based retention grants to minority students, citing violations of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. The decision followed a lower court's reversal of a program that provided financial aid to Black, Hispanic, Native American, and Southeast Asian immigrant-descended students to prevent college dropout, aligning with the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 SFFA v. Harvard ruling against race-conscious admissions.
