Fisher v. University of Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fisher v. University of Texas may refer to either of two United States Supreme Court cases:

  • Fisher v. University of Texas (2013) (alternatively called Fisher I), 570 U.S. 297 (2013), a case which ruled that strict scrutiny should be applied to determine the constitutionality of a race-sensitive admissions policy.
  • Fisher v. University of Texas (2016) (alternatively called Fisher II), 579 U.S. 365 (2016), a case which ruled that the University of Texas's use of race in their admissions policy passes the constitutional muster.
