Affirmative action - too much is too much, says Sweden's Supreme Court
The case has been dragging on for years already making headlines in Sweden. Basicly, two Swedisn women with better grades were rejected from studying at the Law Faculty of Sweden's Uppsala University as less qualified foreign citizens took their places. The women took the case initially to the local court. All of the courts from local to Surpreme found in the women's favour. Uppsala University will finally have to pay the fines and accept the decision.
Is too much affirmative action too much affirmative? Will be interesting to see what are the long-term consequences of the precedent setting ruling, which could apply to many areas.
