It is just those are objective measures and lead to minority groups being discriminated against (notably Asians) having data to prove it.

SCOTUS ruled that universities can't use race as a factor for admission. Like, at all. Asian demographics are usually scoring higher on these tests.

None of this has anything to do with antitrust.

Colleges still use race in admissions. They just obfuscate it slightly. For example, they preferentially admit people by zipcode, i.e. by the degree to which the neighborhood is non-white, non-Jewish, and non-Asian. They encourage applicants to write about their experiences with discrimination in their applicant letters. They also accept people scoring in the top percentage of grades at a school (which preferentially admits students from worse schools with lower standards i.e. students from black and Hispanic schools). I assume they use a variety of other techniques as well.

Your post contained a possible misconception, that being legally barred from using race at all means they functionally don't use race at all.
