The Ruling Explained: The Future of Affirmative Action in Higher Education
Join us for a sure-to-be lively conversation on the Supreme Court's landmark decision against affirmative action
We'll be discussing the Supreme Court’s landmark decision against affirmative action that deemed the admissions programs at both Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill to be unconstitutional.
Inside Higher Ed Editor and Co-founder, Scott Jaschik, will lead a discussion with Cheryl Holcomb-McCoy, Dean and Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at American University, to analyze the ruling's short- and long-term implications for higher education, which is expected to impact just about every college that uses affirmative action in admissions and some that use it in awarding financial aid.
