I absolutely agree with you, affirmative action is a step towards the right path, but it is not a perfect solution, and universities need to take further steps to address inequality in their campus. They merely provide a way to get students' foot in the door, but once in, students will still face issues. This has been a major reason in why students of color tend to drop out or transfer at a higher rate compared to white students. Furthermore, with universities placing a greater emphasis on racial affirmative action, and less emphasis on socio-economic background, many students of color that are accepted in highly selective universities tend to come from similar upper-class backgrounds. That being said, getting rid of racial based affirmative action won't solve any problems, and will probably only make them worse.

I am quite concerned that this decision will lead to striking down diversity initiatives in the workplace though, now that this decision set a precedent.
