Going Backwards on Our Commitment to Racial Justice
<p>The new school year is approaching in the aftermath of two recent US Supreme Court decisions that fail to acknowledge the deep wounds of our racist history. We are going back to school as usual while going backward on our commitment to racial justice.</p>
<p>First, the loss of race-conscious affirmative action in admissions will make it more difficult for selective universities to enroll diverse student bodies. The small gains made over generations in the representation of Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Indigenous students at the nation’s most elite universities are likely to be dramatically reversed. Without sweeping changes in selective admissions practices, the nation’s future elites in every domain will look less and less like America.</p>
