Here's what students need to know after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action programs at UNC and Harvard:
Siqueiros saw a big decline in the number of Black and Latino students who applied to selective universities and colleges after the state banned affirmative action in the 1990s.
Perez said he saw the sharp decline of students of color, particularly Black and Latino students, in UCLA and the University of California system."It was devastating — we saw diversity really, really go down.” What’s worrisome about the ruling is the “chilling effect of students who feel like they don’t belong,” because they’re being told, in one interpretation of the decision, that their identities and who they are as students of color don’t matter, Santiago said. “The question of whether they belong or not, I think it’s real.
Belasco said counselors like him are now making sure the ruling “does not communicate to underrepresented minorities that they should no longer consider some colleges.”
