See last section of this article. Fisher vs. UT-Austin is going to the SCOTUS.

For a discussion of a more sensible alternative, I highly recommend reading this article:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10936995

"The published research literature on the role of social class in medical education, although not conclusive, suggests that recruiting and admitting more medical students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds could help advance a variety of health policy objectives. Consequently, medical schools should weigh the possibility of class-based affirmative action."
