Soapbox ramble:
Personally I was and am still in favor of affirmative action and didn’t care much for today’s SCOTUS ruling. At the same time I don’t think ‘diversity’ serves as the most effective all-purpose buzzword (looking at today’s protests).
Imho, while POC have historically taken it on the chin, in answer to today’s court ruling Harvard, UNC et al’s admissions policy should now read that as a result of the ‘quality of education imbalance’ in secondary schools as it pertains to economic demographics, candidates from disadvantaged districts will be given circumstantial consideration when deemed appropriate, i.e. still assist POC while getting around the SCOTUS race-based ban.
EDIT: TL;DR: affirmative action will still be alive and well…schools will just have to be more nuanced (‘$’) about it
