[quote=Anonymous][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]

While SCOTUS may ban affirmative action and/or the use of race in college admissions, it will not ban using first generation and lower income backgrounds as factors.  And [b]since a disproportionate share of URMs are either first generation and/or lower income, there may not be that big of an impact. [/b] Plus, colleges can always consider how an applicant has overcome adversity as expressed in a personal essay (e.g., overcame discrimination).  [/quote]

Nope, by headcount, there are many, many more poor whites than poor URMs.  I think it's a fallacy of people who live in liberal urban areas on the coasts that the poor people are overwhelmingly black.  Rural poverty actually looks very different.[/quote]

I think they're going to add zip code into the equation. In America your zipcode is pretty much your destiny.

Poor white children live in better neighborhoods than middle class black kids. That alone speaks volumes.

Trust... affirmativeaction will go away but still exist lol[/quote]
