The University of Texas filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in which it defended its admissions policy of using race as one of its standards.
Abigail Fisher, a white student who was not admitted to the school in 2008, filed a lawsuit challenging the policy as violation of her civil and constitutional rights. The Supreme Court agreed in February to consider the case, setting the stage for its first ruling on affirmative action in higher education since 2003.
