WATCH: President Biden Slams Supreme Court's 'Unconstitutional' Ruling On College Admissions

He expressed his disagreement with the decision, stating that it disregards legal precedent.

In a press conference, President Biden stated, "Today, the court once again walked away from decades of precedent. I strongly, strongly disagree with the court's decision." He further emphasized his disappointment with the court, saying, "This is not a normal court."

The Supreme Court's ruling, with a 6-3 majority, declared that considering race in college admissions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. While colleges can still consider examples of students who have overcome racial discrimination, they cannot make admissions decisions based solely on race.

Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion, explained that any benefits given to students who have faced racial discrimination must be tied to their individual experiences and not solely based on their race. He criticized universities that have prioritized race over other factors, stating, "Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice."

To address the issue, President Biden announced that he will direct the Department of Education to examine how universities can effectively promote diversity following the Supreme Court's decision.

The ruling came in response to two lawsuits filed by Students for Fair Admissions, one against Harvard and the other against the University of North Carolina. The Harvard case alleged that the university failed to follow race-neutral policies, particularly in the admissions of Asian-Americans. The North Carolina case questioned the claim that race-neutral policies would hinder academic quality at public universities.

Joining Chief Justice Roberts in the majority were Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
