—Here are 3 big things you need to know—
One — The Supreme Court today will take up a challenge to race-based college admissions practices. They’ll hear arguments in two cases, one involving Harvard, the other involving the University of North Carolina. The group Students for Fair Admissions is looking for the court to throw out a 1978 case that gave the greenlight for universities to consider race in determining who would be admitted.
Two— Michigan’s average gas price has fallen under four-dollars a gallon. Triple-A Michigan says prices are down nine-cents in the past week to three-dollars-96-cents a gallon, 21-cents less than last month but 69-cents higher than last year. The lowest price is in metro Detroit at three-88, while Jackson’s four-12 is the highest.
And number three— Congress is getting another report today on UFOs spotted over the past year. U.S. intelligence agencies are expected to provide lawmakers with a new annual report on unexplained aerial phenomena, the new name for UFOs. The Pentagon estimates the number of unexplained incidents is more than 400. Some of the sightings have been found to be weather balloons and foreign surveillance, but many still can’t be explained.
