CSRC Statement on SCOTUS Decision on Race-Conscious Admissions

With its ruling last week regarding the constitutionality of race-conscious college admissions programs, the Supreme Court turned a blind eye towards the impact of historic and ongoing racial discrimination in higher education. We hope the decision inspires new ways to advance racial equity and justice. Now is the time to advocate for bold comprehensive measures that exceed the gains made through affirmative action.
