[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I don't understand is how schools are acting like fisher v Texas settled the law. Given the ages of Kennedy and rbg, if trump puts on two more gorsuch's to replace those two, affirmative action would completely be banned for publics and privates (through the mechanism that any school that takes fed funds cannot discriminate - and the privates all take fed funds through research grants).

Unlike Roe v Wade, affirmative  action does Not have the same staying power IMO if such a court shift were to happen [/quote]

Because for the moment, Fisher is the law.

Besides, private schools, like Harvard and Princeton, are held to different standards than public ones. [/quote]

The strategy is once the balance on scotus can overturn affirmative action, it'll be expanded to include all schools that take fed funds.

Hyp will then have to decide if they want to give up research dollars and fed aid to keep control of admissions policy

I get that for the moment fisher is the law - but schools are sounding like it is law until the end of time.

Not all scotus rulings have the same staying power. Fisher is not roe [/quote]

That's an  ... interesting view of law and policy.[/quote]
