[ll74]

Sotomayor chimes in. I think diversity advocates will find a way to achieve their goals without AA.

Merit. Merit is now a hate and racist word.

Yes, I'm aware of the broader thread.

That would require people to select others based on their merit. AA existed because people haven't historically done so.

The thread starter has called out members who make what he calls "vanity" and unnecessary threads...yet he just created a thread for a topic that already had two existing threads posted this morning.

Your days of thread criticism are over, bud. Total hypocrite.

I hope this kills DEI as well

And yet you chose to spam the board with your own .... because?

This thread is specific to the AA ruling rather than the full docket. Feel free to participate if you want..

Spoiler: It won't kill DEI.

Way back in 1996, California voters passed Proposition 209 which ended affirmative action admissions practices in California's public universities. Good to see SCOTUS do the same nationwide. Credit once again to Senator McConnell for his role in bringing outstanding justices to the Court.

Adding - see Harvards response

In the weeks and months ahead, drawing on the talent and expertise of our Harvard community, we will determine how to preserve, consistent with the Court’s new precedent, our essential values.

Spoiler: it won't.

People who "don't believe in it" aren't forced into anything.

Sounds rough.

As long as you know your place - and I can tell you do now - you're fine. Maybe one day, when you grow a thicker skin, you'll be able to do this right. Until then, watch and appreciate my skills.

Yah, why do dipshits always bring up MLK, as of it proves some point they're making?

Lol, you're so full of yourself.

Maybe create another vanity thread to flex those internet muscles, sparky. Those are always useful and productive discussion threads.

Interestingly enough (and maybe not shockingly) Fox quotes the majority but omits any quotes from the dissenting views. Every other source I've seen has provided quotes from both.

It’s interesting to see Democratic leaders bemoaning the Court’s decision given that it aligns with the views of a strong majority of Americans according to a Harvard-CAPS-Harris poll taken just last month. Even most Democrat believe agree should not be a factor in college admissions.

I think the path forward may be some sort of blind selection...applicants have personal information (name..etc) stripped and each is considered blindly. I would be curious whether this would achieve a truly diverse student body or whether it would end up skewed based on volume.

Most Americans Wanted The Supreme Court To End Affirmative Action — Kind Of​

Overall, half of Americans disapproved of colleges and universities using race and ethnicity as factors to increase racial and ethnic diversity, while one-third approved.

An application is never truly blind. There are always 'tells', from the person's name (which could be redacted) to where they lived and went to school(s), to the words they use and how they construct sentences, to courses they took.

I recall a study of how a person's race and where they were raised could be determined simply by the words they used and how they pronounced them.
