Many people wrongly believe that affirmative action allows unqualified students - unqualified students - to be admitted ahead of qualified students. And I strongly - strongly disagree with the Court’s decision.īecause affirmative action is so misunderstood, I want to be clear - make sure everybody is clear about what the law has been and what it has not been, until today. The Court has effectively ended affirmative action in college admissions. I agree with that statement from the dissents - from the dissent. The dissent states that today’s decision, quote, “rolls back decades of precedent and momentous progress.” End of quote. Today, the Court once again walked away from decades of precedent and make - as the dissent has made clear. In case after case, including recently, just as a few years ago in 2016, the Court has affirmed and reaffirmed this view: that colleges could use race not as a determinative factor for admission, but as one of the factors among many in deciding who to admit from a quali- from a qualified - already qualified pool of applicants. Sorry to keep you waiting a few minutes.įorty-five years - for forty-five years, the United States Supreme Court has recognized a college’s freedom to decide how - how to build diverse student bodies and to meet their responsibility of opening doors of opportunity for every single American.
