In November, a sharply divided 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati found that the 2006 state constitutional amendment, which was approved by voters, imposed burdens on racial minorities in violation of the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. The law bans preferential treatment toward any candidates in public university admissions.
