The Supreme Court Did Not Reverse Affirmative Action For Every Academic Institution

 Contrary to popular belief, one group was excluded, as explained this Black Agenda Report article by Jacqueline Luqman:

So here we are in 2023 and the Supreme Court has banned the use of race in college admissions in any way wherever in this country it remained, with the exception of military academies - which is interesting because in the majority decision, Chief Justice John Roberts justified this exception because the academies were not parties in the cases, and that there were "potentially distinct interests" involved. What “potentially distinct interests, you might ask?

Apparently, a friend-of-the-court brief was filed by 35 former military leaders — including four former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — and argued that affirmative action in higher education was essential for national security. They asked the Supreme Court to consider how reversing the longstanding admissions policy would affect the military's ability "to serve our nation's security interests,” specifically noting that the diversity of the officer corps, largely made up of graduates of the military academies, because the soldiers they would be leading are diverse.

Joe Reeder, a former undersecretary in the Army and one of the brief's signatories, pointed out however that the former military leaders had not asked to be exempted from the ruling. But according to Reeder, "No one asked for a military academy carveout. We didn't ask for that. No one has asked for that."

But that’s exactly what the Supreme Court did, deciding that the force that kills people around the world for the US should be diverse, but higher education outside of indoctrinating and dispatching imperialist-defending warmongerers should not be.

BTW: the entire article is worth the read.
