The court ended one of our most effective social justice policies because anything that isn’t seen to primarily benefit white people is anathema to this country.
i wonder what kind of tangible effect this will have overall, given how opaque and discretionary college admissions standards are in the first place. if an institution wanted to, couldn’t class-conscious policies geared towards underrepresented geographies and first generation college students achieve a similar outcome while skirting the ruling on race explicitly?
Companies basically can’t use affirmative action when hiring. But to try to help the racial divide, some strive after diversity. That means changing where they’re recruiting, changing the work environment, changing the hiring process, and investing in change. Some progress has been made, but there’s still a long way to go.
I hope that universities find creative ways to bring in underrepresented minorities. They may not be able to choose based on race anymore, but if they make a bunch of changes (that I’m not smart enough to think of), maybe they can change the makeup of the pool of candidates they’re choosing from.

Colleges will get sued constantly.
