[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very likely SCOTUS will ban affirmative action in late June 2023 decision.

Once that happens -affirmative action will immediately be banned as a factor.

So what happens then for HS classes of 2024 onward? Will private colleges voluntarily ban legacy preference? I have heard a number of Ivies are discussing this to have ready to announce.

Will more public schools offer the Texas model of guaranteed admit for top 10% of each high school in the state?

Would love a sober discussion of this here....[/quote]

Not a single thing will change. Colleges have many sly ways to continue with their social engineering goals and compensate even if SCOTUS band AA. One simple way is to do race neutral admissions by giving preference to certain zip codes. Voila, AA through the backdoor[/quote]

Lots of those ways are not very sly, esp. if you have ever worked in the Title VII/discrimination field. That would just be another law suit waiting to happen and with this SCOTUS, would be bi--slapped again. I don't think that colleges are going to be able to rebound from a negative AA ruling as easily as some of you think. And FWIW, AA was on the chopping block the last few years even with the prior court's composition. Language in prior opinions said that AA should not be able to go on in perpetuity. And while I realize that is a certain form of AA, this SCOTUS is not going to let some more ambiguous factors that do the same thing or have a similar affect undercut their decision, which is a certainty imo. You're a fool if you think that. [/quote]
