CMC's Admission Policies and the Supreme Court

In 2003 the Supreme Court ruled that it was okay for public universities to have race-conscious admission policies. They have just decided to hear another case in which a white student is suing the University of Texas to end this practice. This article explains that by merely agreeing to hear the case, the court signaled that it may be seeking to reverse the decision it made in 2003.

When the SAT scandal occurred there was a lot of discussion about CMC's admission policies. CMC has no explicitly stated goals for the racial demographics of an admitted class, however the admissions office has been trying to increase the population of international students in recent years. I'm not sure this ruling would have any effect on private colleges, but if it did, would it have an impact on CMC's admissions policy? I'm curious whether a policy to promote international diversity could be affected by an affirmative action case like this.
