The decision affects private entities that accept some form of federal financial assistance (this is language from Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act), not private entities writ large. Granted, that is still a big bucket.

There's apparently a bit of overlap between Title VI and Title VII. But will likely have a separate case

> “many of the thought processes and the basic legal principles” are the same, says Daniel Pyne III, an employment specialist at law firm Hopkins & Carley. If the court strikes down race-conscious admissions in education, “that is a strong hint that the same decision might be made” in employment cases

Sorry, yes, you are right. It’s a similar analysis probably because Title VII is also grounded in the 14th Amendment.
