affirmative action

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action last Thursday, ending race-conscious admissions practices at colleges and universities that accept federal money. Indiana universities like IU Bloomington, Purdue, and Notre Dame did use race-conscious admissions.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release a ruling on the use of affirmative action in higher education this month. WFYI’s Sydney Dauphinais spoke with Meyer about what schools and students could expect in a post-affirmative action era.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release a ruling on affirmative action sometime in June. Some experts believe the court could overturn decades of precedent – and the decisions could have far-reaching impacts that may take years to be fully felt.
