The U.S. Supreme Court declined to put new limits on educational diversity efforts, turning away a challenge to a temporary admissions policy that meant more Black and Latino students at three elite Boston public high schools.

The justices rejected an appeal that contended Boston school officials unconstitutionally discriminated against White and Asian-American students with a neighborhood-based admissions system put in place for one year during the pandemic.
