The Supreme Court appears torn over the use of race in college admissions and may not be ready to make a decision without more information.

Several justices on Wednesday asked about the value of ordering more hearings in a case from Texas that they've now heard twice. Additional evidence might determine whether the use of race is necessary to increase diversity at the University of Texas....

Conservative Justice Antonin Scalia questioned whether some minority students are harmed by the policy because it helped them gain admittance to schools where they might not be able to academically compete.

"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well," Scalia said referencing an amicus brief.
