[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are SO MANY colleges and universities that have developed methods of getting diversity other than the specific style that Harvard used. (University of Texas being a good example.) This is not going to be the big shift that some of you think it will be.
And yes as PP said, UVA has been very open for years that they are looking for geographic diversity.[/quote]

If they try to select by race no matter what there will be lawsuits, stop it, be race blind, stop breaking the law and our constitution [/quote]
You are delusional if you think diversity will decrease because of the SC ruling. Just look at California which abolished AA in 1996. California schools are the most diverse in the nation. Some are even majority Asian and Hispanic. The demographic information is online, just look it up. [/quote]

The UC system still suffers from a lack of diversity at its top schools and why there are clusters of Hispanics at lower ranked UC schools.   They have a lot of date to back it up since race has not been a factor for over two decades in CA - https://www.npr.org/2023/06/30/1185226895/heres-what-happened-when-affirmative-action-ended-at-california-public-colleges [/quote]

Interesting finding here since the anti-AA posters swear campus life will be roses for URMs since everyone else will be assured they “earned” their spot.

[i]Most do not want to attend a university where there's not a critical mass of same race peers," said Mitchell Chang, the associate vice chancellor of equity, diversity and inclusion at UCLA. That's because attending a school made less diverse by an affirmative action ban, "puts them at greater risk of being stereotyped and being isolated," he said.[/i][/quote]
