    “ST. LOUIS — The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday on affirmative action in college admissions prompted immediate responses from area schools, with the University of Missouri system saying it would eliminate race as a consideration for millions of dollars in scholarships.

    St. Louis University and Washington University, meanwhile, both said they would consider changes to their admissions policies.

    And Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent letters to dozens of colleges warning them to end all affirmative action programs immediately.

    “I intend to ensure that the constitutional rights of all Missourians are protected,” Bailey wrote in the letter. “Including those who would be harmed by race-based policies that are unlawful under the rulings issued today.””

    Maybe the new approach can be based on scholarships for Des-advantaged individuals, students based on set criteria as some are done.
    Some states are working on reparation laws and the money can be allocated for colleges as part of reparation actions?
    Community colleges to increase the services, state funding and programs including pre college preparation programs in non racial way?
    Parents income, social needs etc of any individual, including undocumented.
