Quaker Colleges Respond to Supreme Court Decision

As described by this article from the Chronicle of Higher Education:

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down colleges’ use of race-conscious admissions nationwide, ruling in a pair of closely watched cases that the practice is racially discriminatory.

“Writing for the court’s majority, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said that policies that claim to consider an applicant’s race as one factor among many are in fact violating the equal-protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

Further follow-up from the Department of Justice and Department of Education, August 14, 2024.

Here is a video from the Wall Street Journal exploring potential effects.
