It is anticipated that the Supreme Court would reverse university affirmative action practices.
According to Axios, several institutions have already begun planning for the effects of this purported decision since, “if overturned, corporate recruitment and hiring practices might be the next to land in the crosshairs.”
In case you missed it, Harvard University as well as the University of North Carolina were sued by the Students for Fair Admissions organization for unjustly considering race in their admissions procedures.
The Daily Wire reports that the organization cited the high test results of white and Asian-American applicants who were turned down.
According to Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), Harvard’s practice of racial discrimination while receiving government funds is a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. SFFA accuses the University of North Carolina of breaking the equal protection provision of the 14th Amendment by considering race in its admissions procedure when the school already has a diverse student body.
Schools such as Cornell University have already created a task group to determine how they would continue to recruit diverse classes in the face of the probable rollback of affirmative action.
In accordance with the institution, the task group would “examine pathways and pipelines to college, in addition to recruiting and retaining strategies.”
Aside from that, “the task group will then suggest ways for admissions teams to determine the attributes as well as experiences that have enabled applicants to thrive in the university’s academically demanding programs, make a positive contribution to the campus community, and apply their Cornell education to tackle society’s most difficult problems,” according to the task force’s recommendations.
According to Axios, if the SCOTUS issues this “discriminatory” decision, “businesses could see a surge in reverse discrimination lawsuits from employees.”
Axios’ report highlighted the possibility that this decision may result in fewer diverse workplaces by citing Harvard research.
Compared to states that maintained affirmative action programs, U.S. states that repealed affirmative action hiring criteria have witnessed a large decline in workplace diversity.
According to The Daily Wire’s summary, “both a broad or limited ruling will probably spark future legal proceedings from affirmative action advocates.”
Although 62% of Americans reject racial discrimination in admissions to colleges.

In all walks of life employees, students, promotions should ALL be granted solely on the qualifications of the persons being considered and RACE should never be a component.
We want high quality, successful folks in our government, work force, education – and RACE has nothing at all to do with that. If a person is qualified, their race should never even be considered for anything!
Courts are doing the right thing finally fixing this terrible error in our history. Same goes for Reparations – if someone was held as a slave, their remedy is to sue the slaveholder – not force taxpayers to pay the damages for something they had no control over or any responsibility for. My family never owned slaves, so we should not be responsible for anything related to slavery! And our tax dollars should not be used for any “reparations”. Use the existing Court system to sue those who enslaved you and any members of your family – that is the proper solution.
Amen my very wise friend, Amen.
THIS BITCH IS JUST A LOSER ! SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER UNDER THE PODEUM -DOING WHAT SHE DOES BEST !
By now almost everyone who was not aware before is aware Harris could not have passed a bar exam or gotten a decent score on her SATs. It was handed to her in some manner based on factors that should not have been considered. She is even unable to read a teleprompter because her writers use 2 & 3 syllable words. Ditto for Obama which is why everything he alleges to have accomplished academically has been ordered sealed by a court because it is all a pack of lies. They are where the are only because of their race or color. This also appears to be the case for so many state AGs. Diversity hires, dumber than a box of rocks.
My son scored a 1420 (out of a max 1610) on his SAT’s. The African American student, sitting next to him, scored a max 857. He got three (3) scholarships, my son got nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nadda. I paid for him to go to a computer college, short term. He now has a high paying job with the Federal Government. The other kid is in jail for drug trafficking and a drive by shooting. Go figure.
