The Supreme Court will hear Abigail Fisher’s affirmative action lawsuit against the University of Texas at Austin. The court relisted the case several times before granting Fisher’s petition for a writ of certiorari this morning. Justice Elena Kagan took no part in the decision, the court noted. Fisher’s closely watched case dates back to her 2008 rejection from the University of Texas System’s flagship institution, which she argued was because of its affirmative action policy.
