'I think top colleges... are going to pivot the ways in which they try to diversify their entry classes.' Fidan Ana Kurtulus joins Rosemarietv on 'Forbes Newsroom' to discuss the Supreme Court getting rid of affirmative action in college admissions.
Colleges and universities can no longer use race as a factor in their admissions decisions, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, striking down the decades-long practice of affirmative action and upending schools’ admission tactics—which they warn could make future student bodies significantly less diverse....
Harvard and UNC had said the practice should be upheld, saying their admissions policies are in line with previous court rulings on the policy and that taking race into account helps to ensure a diverse student body, denying that the practice is discriminatory. The universities’ practices don’t have a good enough justification that warrants using race in admissions, the court ruled, arguing affirmative action programs don’t comply with the Equal Protection Clause’s commands that “race may never be used as a ‘negative’ and that it may not operate as a stereotype,” because the practice resulted in fewer Asian American applicants being accepted into Harvard.
