ALDC next

You going to get the ball rolling on that?

I thought not.

DP. No need. The fakkers who have been offering admissions based on ALDC themselves will gut it soon.

It is banned on paper. Admissions offices have already prepared work arounds. The diversity composition won't be affected.

Geography, socio-economic demographics, pipeline programs, "special talents," etc.

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.

Are student-athletes assumed to be inferior?

Are third-generation alumni students assumed to be inferior?

Take it up with the justices. You are barking at the wrong person. You elected Trump. You voted in the SCOTUS justices. Elections have consequences.

Mixed race family (Asian and Jewish white)

From Columbia University:

"higher education will take five years to fully adjust to the new legal landscape, as committees and task forces—already in place at many schools—explore ways to employ income levels, socioeconomic factors and other race-neutral factors to maintain diversity."

Folks...us white people are the winners. Do you think the group that brought the cases to the Supreme Court care about Asians?

Poor white are the beneficiaries

I have sat in admissions rooms when decisions are being made.

We can now all sit in that same room, never mention race, never see race box-checks, and practically configure the same class of admittees.

The joke's on y'all.

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!

Colleges should be very very careful and ask themselves it it's worth the risk.
I see huge potential lawsuts

The current majority is not getting rid of legacies or athletic recruits, affirmative action has long been a particular target for conservatives, they don’t care about the other categories. We likely won’t see the SC accept another college admissions case for years now that they can declar success on AA.

They have already figured out that first Gen and low income preferences are race neutral. This decision is not going to benefit middle or upper class kids, if anything, will hurt them.

Like anything else in life...legacy and athletic recruits directly impacts the families of all of the conservative supreme court justices (even Clarence Thomas), so why in god's name do you think they will touch those?

Asians have served as the "useful idiots" in these cases.

Maybe colleges can draw more heavily from low income, diverse high schools. The biggest losers might be the wealthy AA and Hispanic kids

How many justices in the majority decision and who they are ALDC in getting into their undergraduate colleges?
