Why affirmative action in college admissions may soon be a thing of the past

The Supreme Court appears poised to outlaw affirmative action policies that take race into account in university admissions, as the court’s conservative justices signaled during oral arguments Monday that they’re open to ending the practice in favor of “race-neutral” admissions—even as the court’s liberal justices asserted its importance.

Roberts suggested forcing schools to get rid of their affirmative action policies could be “an incentive for the university to truly pursue race neutral alternatives” that could still be effective in promoting diversity, and suggested it’s unfair if applicants to Harvard are automatically benefited because they’re Black, even if they’re from a higher socioeconomic status.

A truely open decision policy that is independent of race and gender is what is needed. With AA in place, those admitted to prestigious schools face claims of “charity” admission when in reality, they are often some of the most qualified.

Um, since it’s racist?

Wow i didn't know that on 2022 you'll have to be specific colour of skin to be a priority in the university. Now i understand why US is so racist

Affirmative Action is needed in America to give those you don’t represent the majority an opportunity at the table. Ridding AA will only preserve “whiteness” in institutions and positions of power in a country whose demographics have evolved.
