I don’t know. I believe it was Michigan’s law school that went to the supreme court that came up with that ruling. But the ruling may have been limited to Affirmative Action and race; that quotas cannot be used that way. But the state of Michigan and the state of Virginia have quotas on their flagship schools as to how many out of stater they can have in terms of %. In fact Michigan was fined terribly for having too many out of staters one year. Though Duke is a private school, by charter it must have 13% of their students from the Carolinas (it used to be just from NC). Also there are many public and private schools that out and out say that they give some preference to in staters.
