Depending on what the Supreme Court says, one of the biggest changes will be elimination of any sort of “Women in STEM” outreach programs, preferences, or scholarships.

Be careful what you (ignorantly) wish for. [/quote]

On the flip side, overall admission is harder for women because they tend to do much better in high school than boys. Women in tech may go away, but so will the higher bars to get into colleges in general [/quote]

Conservatives are going to hate it if a side effect is that schools are even more heavily female than they are now. [/quote]
But aren’t schools going to strive for coed institutions being as close to 50/50 as possible? It is in the best interest of the students enrolled…[/quote]

What’s your thought process? Race is subject to strict scrutiny. Sex is not. [/quote]

Clearly you are not a lawyer or at least not one that did well in Con Law[/quote]
Refute it then. [/quote]

Race is subject to strict scrutiny, gender is subject to intermediate scrutiny. Strict scrutiny is an almost impossible standard, intermediate isn’t [/quote]
Why is more women in STEM a substantial government interest?

Posters here are so stupid![/quote]
