No More Affirmative Action at Public Colleges and Universities?

The Supreme Court is going to deliberate over whether or not "race-conscious" admissions will remain legal at public colleges and universities.

Will this cause a reduction in the admission of African-American and Latino students?  Will it drive school districts to have higher academic expectations of all students?  Or will it cause some school districts with large African-American and Latino student populations to give up and steer even fewer of their students to college preparatory courses and college admissions, as Jonathan Kozol already notes ala Shame of the Nation?
