In a landmark ruling last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nearly 50
years of precedent and banned the use of affirmative action in college
admissions.

The decision eliminated the most powerful tool for ensuring diversity on
America’s college campuses and forced college admission officers and high school
seniors to figure out what the college admissions process should look like when
race cannot be taken into account.

Jessica Cheung, a producer on “The Daily,” explains how, over the past year,
both students and college officials have tried to navigate the new rules.

BACKGROUND READING

 * The first high-school seniors to apply to college since the Supreme Court’s
   landmark decision have had to sort through a morass of conflicting guidance.

 * From June: The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action programs at Harvard
   and U.N.C.
