b'This week, the Supreme Court heard two cases\\u2014against Harvard and U.N.C.\\u2014that may very well bring about the end of\\xa0affirmative action\\xa0at American colleges and universities. The practice rests on the Fourteenth Amendment: equal protection under the law. But the conservative John Roberts court is re\\xebvaluating what \\u201cequal protection\\u201d really means, raising the idea that current methods of affirmative action are actually a thinly veiled form of racism. Jeannie Suk Gersen, a\\xa0New Yorker\\xa0contributing writer and a professor at Harvard Law School, was in attendance for Monday\\u2019s oral arguments. She joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss whether a more holistic admissions process is the best way to create diversity, and whether diversity is really the best ideal for universities to aspire to.'
