The U.S. Supreme Court this week struck down affirmative action in college admissions. Now, higher education institutions wishing to achieve racially diverse student bodies have to find a new way forward.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions, a policy that withstood challenges reaching as far back as 1978. In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called the decision a “tragedy,” saying “with let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the rip cord and announces color blindness for all by legal fiat, but deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.
Christian Perry, director of policy and advocacy with the Partnership for College Completion, is also a U.S. Navy veteran. He said the exception Chief Justice John Roberts made allowing service academies to continue considering race in admissions is a telling one. “Our mission is to serve the citizens of the state of Illinois,” Jones said. “And that is all citizens of the state of Illinois. We must just redouble our efforts to ensure that we are indeed doing that. It means that we will have to look at all of our practices and make sure that we follow the law, but that commitment is robust.”
Perry said his organization has also been anticipating this ruling and will be issuing suggestions this summer for institutions to consider implementing.
