<p>Gallup previously asked this question as part of its Minority Rights and Relations poll in 2003, 2007 and 2013, and Americans&#8217; views since 2003 have held steady.</p>
<p>When asked to rank a list of nine factors that colleges and universities could consider when making admissions decisions, <strong>63% saying race or ethnicity should not be a factor at all in admissions</strong> and only 9% saying that they should be a &#8220;major factor.&#8221; A majority of people answered the poll said that scores on standardized tests and the types of courses a student takes in high school should weigh heavily.</p>
