<span><span>In June, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively banned the
use of race-conscious admissions policies ("affirmative action") at
colleges other than the military academies. This marks the end of an
era, and raises significant questions about the ability of colleges and
universities to actively promote diversity, equity, and inclusion on
campus.<br></span><span> </span><br><span>Colleges and universities
began to adopt affirmative action policies during the 1960s in response
to the persistent lack of diversity on campus. While outright
segregation in higher education had not been legal since Brown v. Board
of Education (1954), until affirmative action policies were adopted
minorities remained significantly underrepresented on college campuses.<br></span><span></span><br><span>Since
1970 racial and ethnic diversity has dramatically increased on American
campuses, in part due to affirmative action. As affirmative action
politics succeeded in promoting diversity on campus, they also became
more controversial. In particular, college affirmative action policies
have been under attack for years on the grounds that they constitute
discrimination against white and Asian applicants. Writing for a 6-3
majority, Chief Justice Roberts basically accepted that argument.<br></span><br><span>With
race-conscious admissions policies no longer allowed, what impact is
this likely to have on diversity on college campuses? What can
institutions seeking to promote diversity on campus do, and how
successful are such efforts likely to be? </span><br><span> </span><br><span>Please
join us and our special guest, SUNY Plattsburgh Director of
Undergraduate Admission Troy Joseph, as we discuss these issues. </span><br><span> </span><br><span>You are welcome to join us in person at the Institute for Ethics in Public Life (Hawkins 233) or on Zoom.</span><br><span> </span><br>Topic: Institute and ODEI forum on after affirmative action<br>Time: Feb 21, 2024 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/98768431929&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1708086471571071&usg=AOvVaw3kgt20SYIXhm3_68bg9reU" target="_blank">https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/98768431929</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 987 6843 1929</span>
