人兽性交 Condemns U.S. Supreme Court Decision Striking Down Affirmative Action in Higher Education
WASHINGTON 鈥聽Today, the U.S. Supreme Court聽听颈苍听Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina,聽overturning nearly 50 years of legal precedent allowing colleges and universities to consider race among other factors in admissions decisions.
鈥淩acial equity and diversity in higher education is a national imperative,鈥 said聽Margaret Huang, president and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center and 人兽性交 Action Fund. 鈥淭oday鈥檚 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturns decades of legal precedent and erodes meaningful progress toward inclusion and equal opportunity on college and university campuses across the nation.
鈥淗istorically, communities of color have been held back from educational opportunities because of racial discrimination. Race-conscious affirmative action practices help address systemic barriers and create crucial pathways for Black and Brown people to access higher education.
鈥淭his is an attempt by anti-civil rights activists to divide communities of color on this issue 鈥 and we will not let it succeed. We remain committed to working together to protect and advance decades of racial progress. Our multiracial democracy benefits when everyone has an equal opportunity to learn and thrive.鈥澛
