Harvard University signaled that the school might seek loopholes to
the Supreme Court's decision striking down its
race-based admissions scheme. Harvard President-elect
Claudine Gay said the decision will change how the school conducts its
admissions process but highlighted the "educational benefit of diversity"
and promising "our commitment to that work remains steadfast."
Students for Fair Admissions' petition to the Supreme Court concludes that,
“UNC’s admissions process incorporated impermissible racial
considerations violating the Equal Protection Clause.”
udicial Watch President Tom Fitton: This decision could not come at a
better time, as the extremist left embraces outright racial discrimination,
racial separatism, and racial segregation under the guise of
“anti-racism.”
In
their brief, Judicial Watch and AEF note that the Equal Protection Clause
was passed to stop discrimination: One of the core purposes of the Equal
Protection Clause is to guarantee that individuals will be free from
discrimination based upon race. It should come as no surprise to anyone
that legalizing the use of race in deciding who is admitted to schools of
higher learning has caused enormous conflict, including among members of
this Court.
