Why affirmative action in college admissions may soon be a thing of the past
The Supreme Court appears poised to outlaw affirmative action policies that take race into account in university admissions, as the court’s conservative justices signaled during oral arguments Monday that they’re open to ending the practice in favor of “race-neutral” admissions—even as the court’s liberal justices asserted its importance.
Roberts suggested forcing schools to get rid of their affirmative action policies could be “an incentive for the university to truly pursue race neutral alternatives” that could still be effective in promoting diversity, and suggested it’s unfair if applicants to Harvard are automatically benefited because they’re Black, even if they’re from a higher socioeconomic status.
