Resumen
En 2023 la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos dictó fallo en la causa Students for Fair Admission Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College y dejó sin efecto las sentencias Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, Grutter v. Bollinger y Fisher v. University of Texas, que habían declarado constitucional las políticas de acciones afirmativas en los procesos de selección de alumnos en atención a su pertenencia a determinadas razas. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar los aspectos más relevantes del fallo judicial y llevar a cabo un análisis crítico sobre las proyecciones que pueda tener en el futuro, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a cómo entendemos el derecho a la igualdad ante la ley.
