[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone provide a one sentence summary of the current, existing policy (left unchanged by the SCt I assume)?[/quote]
admissions will continue to be determined by a single essay based lottery system[/quote]
so why is this a MAGA trigger? It sounds less preferential and more anti “DEI/woke” and to maga’s liking? [/quote]

Additional context from the NY Times:
The revisions to the Virginia admissions program followed protests over the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Amid concerns about how few Black and Hispanic students attended the school, one of the country’s top public high schools, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va., adopted what it said were race-neutral admissions standards. The school board did away with a rigorous entrance examination and prioritized admission to the top students from each public middle school in the area rather than the top applicants from any school.
Admissions officers were also instructed to consider “experience factors,” such as whether students were poor, learning English or attending a middle school that was “historically underrepresented.” But the officers were not told the race, sex or name of any applicant.
