The Supreme Court’s vote was 6-3 in the UNC case and 6-2 in the Harvard case. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, an undergrad and law school alum of Harvard, who had served on the board of overseers at Harvard, was recused from the Harvard case.Asked for comment, a School of Visual Arts spokeperson said, “Despite today’s SCOTUS decision, SVA is more committed than ever to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive community of artists.
Noting how next spring will mark the 70-year anniversary of the landmark decision of Brown vs. Board of Education, McBride said that he “like many of you,” is concerned about the dismissal by the nation’s highest court of the values of diversity and inclusion. “I am troubled by the recent pattern of Supreme Court decisions that have rolled back hard-won rights for racial minorities, women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Pratt Institute’s president Frances Bronet also expressed how she was “deeply disappointed” by the ruling and said the school’s community will stay true to founder Charles Pratt’s practice of welcoming “all regardless of race, gender or socio-economic status.” There are also plans to review Pratt’s policies and practices to ensure commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion are upheld, “even as we work within the bounds of the law. Nothing can change our core values, who we are, what we believe in, and how we serve as catalysts for meaningful change,” Bronet stated.
“We will continue to digest the scope and implications of this decision. For now, one thing holds true: we will not retreat from our mission of making a Marist education accessible to anyone who can succeed here, and we will continue to pursue these goals to the greatest degree within the confines of the law and judicial precedent,” Weinman wrote.
Brown continued, “As a member of the State University of New York, one of the largest public university systems in the world and as an urban campus in New York City, one of the most diverse cities in the nation, we have an obligation to maintain an environment that reveres and respects the richness of differing points of view. This is a core value of our mission and vision.”
