The Supreme Court's conservative majority will have their say on Monday. Supporters of diversity efforts need to be ready.
about the University of Texas’ race-conscious admissions policies. Alito, in an opinion joined by Roberts and Thomas, referred to UT’s plan as “systematic racial discrimination.”
Now, they also have the three Trump appointees — Kavanaugh, Barrett and Neil Gorsuch — on the court with them. All the earlier appointees will need is two of those three votes to end all race-conscious higher education admissions policies.That’s exactly what the challengers to the policies are seeking here.
Given what we have learned of the new court, there is no reason to believe the conservative majority — including Roberts — won’t agree with the challengers. After all, Roe v. Wade was over Roberts’ objection last term. Why would anyone think Roberts will somehow save something he himself has opposed in the past?Supporters of race-conscious admissions policies — more than 50 amicus briefs were filed with the court in support of the university policies — absolutely should closely analyze Monday’s oral arguments.
"Black students are not the sole intended beneficiaries of race-conscious admissions programs. The benefits of such programs inure to all segments of society."But in the absence of that unlikely event, supporters of race-conscious admissions policies — including the Biden administration — should learn from some of the failings of the Democrats in addressing Dobbs.
