Harvard: In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the anti-affirmative action group SFFA asked the high court to overturn its ruling in a landmark case — Grutter v.

UNC: The Supreme Court will also hear a separate lawsuit from Students for Fair Admissions against affirmative action policies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill... Jackson will participate in the UNC case...
