In synopsis I glanced, the Court summarized affirmative action is stereotypical, something to that effect, assuming all race thinks alike, are similar, etc. I guess affirmative action assumes certain people are just naturally challenged intellectually. This is a great day for URM, as they will no longer be assumed to be inferior. Those who make it will be presumed to be qualified. Finally, URMs will receive equal treatment under the law. It's a great day in America when all people, whites, brown, and blacks are judged by the content of their character.

That will take decades. Whether URM recognize it or not, damages from AA is long-lasting.

You mad bro? State U. not good enough for you?

Now do (1) legacy admissions, (2) development admissions, (3) faculty admissions!

Faculty admissions don’t belong on this list. It’s a tiny tiny segment of the population and professors don’t make much money. Free tuition for their kid is truly the least you can do for them.

This is going to benefit low income, rural, and first Gen families as these categories will become a race neutral way of achieving diversity, which is likely no one on this thread.

College applications cannot have boxes to check indicating an applicant's race.

However, unlike many on this board kept arrogantly asserting, the end of Roberts' opinion clearly specifies that universities MAY NOT use essays or any other soft means to set up essentially the same system in effect today. That means they cannot use a "back door" to still discriminate via soft methods. So, sorry racist people on DCUM, your dreams are shattered lol

There are so many "soft methods" that you can't even imagine.

The elite colleges and universities will continue to amass a super-diverse enrollment. Ha!

Cool story bro. Look what happened to URM enrollment in the states that banned affirmative action previously

Look at the PRIVATE colleges and universities. It was a NOTHING BURGER. Stay mad, bro!

Some schools can afford the shift, but it means losing full pay URM students in exchange for first gen or low income students who will need lots of aid and most schools can't afford that.

It is now banned at private colleges and universities, but was not previously. Some of these posters are so uneducated - probably previous affirmative action admits lol

. I don't see any change in outcomes for Asian families next year. One year from now, the same kids who didn't get into ivies will be denied. Not much will change...
