The Supreme Court is set to hear two cases at the end of the month challenging race-based admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
at the end of the month challenging race-based admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
“As the recent abortion ruling taught us [in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization], it truly is a different court,” Vern Granger, director of admissions at the University of Connecticut, told Yahoo News. “So we have to prepare ourselves for potential outcomes.” Title VI is one law, and it really goes to what Congress’s intent was in 1964: What does the statute itself mean or not mean? And then the 14th Amendment says, “No state shall deny any person equal protection of the law.” They’re two different laws with two different legislative histories. So that theoretically could lead to different results, although the court has tended over the last 20 years to treat them as coextensive.
We have to prepare ourselves for potential outcomes. One of those outcomes is going to impact how the use of race is considered in our evaluation process. And there could be some changes with regards to that. But no matter what the decision is, I think two things are going to be constant. One of those is that you're going to continue to follow the law.
