WASHINGTON -- Exactly halfway to the 25-year goal it set in 2003 for ending affirmative action in college admissions, the Supreme Court served notice Wednesday that its patience is running out.
During oral arguments in a case that threatens the use of racial preferences at the University of Texas-Austin and across the nation, the court's conservative justices said programs that accept students because of their race or ethnicity -- rather than high school rankings, test scores, talents and character -- must be limited and temporary.
