Consider implications of Supreme Court decision regarding affirmative action in admissions

Abstract

In a decision that reverberated throughout the halls of higher education, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down race‐conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina ( See Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, Slip Op. No. 20‐1199 (2023) ). The decision overturns decades of precedent and effectively invalidates affirmative action policies in college admissions.
