Former NBA Star Charles Barkley rewrote his will as a result of the Supreme Court overturning affirmative action.
Barkley admitted to news outlet`AL.com that he had previously included $5 million to his alma mater, Auburn University. Now, he has included some conditions to help students.At first, the money was meant for Black students, then for those who come from poverty. Then he said he reverted it.
"I was talking to my friends and said, ‘I need to make sure black folks always have a place at Auburn. So, I’m gonna change my will and make it exclusive for Black students—all $5 million,'" Barkley told the outlet."It’s just for me the right thing to do. I always want to make sure that Auburn’s diverse.”
Harvard President-Elect Claudine Gay similarly assured future students of Harvard that its commitment to the"educational benefits of diversity" is unchanged despite the Supreme Court ruling.The court ruled 6-2 Thursday in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had to recuse herself due to her participation on Harvard's board.
Auburn's class of 2026 is 4.9% black, per its website. This is a slight decrease from the 5.3% reported in 2020.
