(FOX NEWS) The Supreme Court has upheld Michigan's affirmative action ban, ruling that the state has the right to determine whether racial preferences can be considered in college admissions.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, suggested that right extends even beyond college policies.
