June 29, 2023 Supreme Court affirmative action decision

The Supreme Court ruled colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis in admissions — a landmark decision that overturns long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education.

I think white applicants at Harvard etc will learn to hate this decision.

CA public schools don’t consider race so no change here.

Will this really affect anyone?

the future is asian

 

[Autoprax]

I like the Asian character.

I love my Asian students.

But they got holes in their game too.

 

[kidfury]

I for one welcome our Asian overlords

 

[StuAzole]

Will this really affect anyone?

9 states already have this rule in place, CA, AZ, WA and Michigan included. I think it’s probably a bigger issue at private schools.

Why put race or gender on an app? If it's based on merit, make it based on merit

Any news on the student loan decision? Not looking good . . . .

The asians. They will probably get more brazen and start peeing in peoples cokes at a scale never seen before.

In CA this decision changes nothing, UCs and CSUs are prohibited from using race at all in admissions decisions.

Yet often a highly qualified white kid will get denied by Berkeley or UCLA or wherever and their parents cry discrimination. This will fix that (non) problem.

id like to see some clear limits on what Presidents can do with EO’s. It’s out of hand on both sides of the isle.

See , eg, Duffman, who insists his kid was denied by Cal Poly in favor of less qualified minority students. Nevermind there’s no consideration of race in the CSU application and that CP is by far the whitest public university in California.

meanwhile my "C is a degree" brother-in-law went to one of the easiest schools in NJ and makes obscene amounts of money as a reality tv producer.

So does it even matter what school you go to?

Law Schools have a similar theory - middle of the class students are the best lawyers, particularly in the litigation side.

Anybody can get denied at CP, it's so impacted that it's a crapshoot to get in for 100% of students.

SCOTUS left in this little caveat in their opinion:

(f) Because Harvard’s and UNC’s admissions programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points, those admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause. At the same time, nothing prohibits universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected the applicant’s life, so long as that discussion is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular applicant can contribute to the uni- versity.

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Supreme Court just ruled that systemic institutional racism is unconstitutional.

My wife and kids are American Indian tribe members. Registered with the Government even. I was kind of bummed when college time came and the kids didn’t get the inside track. Oh well. Timing is everything.
