The Supreme Court has ended affirmative action. Black Ivy Leaguers are terrified about what comes next.
. “The Supreme Court decision reinstates barriers that decrease diversity in institutions—and the thought that it could impact the makeup of our organization, Yale, and universities generally, is worrying.”
According to Cornell junior Lemachi Enweremadu, he’s devastated about the Supreme Court ruling. But he tellshe’s also worried about the social implications of Black students in incoming classes slowly losing their communities on campus. “I found a home within the black community and there are people in my corner,” Enweremadu says. “But when I first arrived, it was very hard. I needed time to adapt. That’s going to intensify. Because these kids have worked so hard. And as minorities, we know we have to work harder than everyone else.”
The Supreme Court decision doesn’t mean there will be an immediate decline in the numbers of Black college students across the country. Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth leaders all reaffirmed their commitments to racial equality and diversity in their student body on Thursday, while a statement released by Harvard officialsthey would continue to consider “an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life” in admissions decisions.
