(The Center Square) - Some higher education institutions in Arkansas have maintained demographic targets after the U.S. Supreme Court rolled back affirmative action earlier this year but say no groups get an unfair advantage.
On Monday, lawmakers on the Higher Education Subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council Joint Performance Review Committee heard how universities in the state are implementing diversity, equity and inclusion, known as DEI initiatives.
Representatives from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences told committee members their target is for the population of the institution’s students, faculty and staff to mirror the demographics of the state of Arkansas.

Bowen School of Law, said the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action in college admissions led to some adjustments for them to comply with the law.
Crawford said while the information still gets collected, it doesn’t come to the school at the time of admissions, so that race and ethnicity are not considered in those decisions.
