Can private K-12 consider race in admissions after the Supreme Court ruling?

Thanks

Yes as long as they take no Federal funding. This is why Harvard was part of the case. It's private, but it takes federal funding.

Someone will bring a lawsuit, then we will see

If you cannot use race at Duke, why should it
be allowed at St. Alban’s?

So schools like Sidwell that took all that Federal money shouldn’t be able to use race.

Someone will have to file a lawsuit in order for you to find out.

Yes private schools can do whatever they want
And teach whatever they want. And try to hire whomever they want.

Right now, yes.

But who in the world is going to file a lawsuit to know for certain? So that you can have the privilege of paying $50,000+ annually x 13 years? Hard pass!

All these privates took PPP loans.

Oops.

Duke University accepts a whole lot of Federal funding. AFAICT, St Albans does not have any Federal funding.

Because con law 101. You can’t just sling various provisions of the Constitution at every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the street. OMG

It’s hugely driven by the universities research arms which take vast amounts of federal grant dollars. It’s how science works in this country. And as a result they are all tethered to constitutional restrictions on “government action.”

Taking a PPP loan does not mean you are a government actor, however.

So private schools can continue to discriminate.

Can someone point me to a source that says this only affects schools that accept federal funding? I cannot find this.

A college could conceivably have student applications that are presented without race. However, private schools require parent interviews and student visits/interviews. Plus some schools request a student or family "picture."

While schools could be asked to remove the race designation from the original application, it would be very hard to the private school admissions system.
