In an education context, the relevant type of affirmative action is that used for admission to universities. In particular, universities may wish to use affirmative action to raise the presence of poor students or students from ethnic minorities. Such discrimination is a controversial issue, notably in the United States, although a 2003 Supreme Court decision ruled that universities are allowed to use the practice. Debates may either be about permitting universities to use positive discrimination (where it is currently illegal), or about the state requiring them to do so.
