Race and College Admissions: Will the Supreme Court End Affirmative Action?
American Bar Association, Section of Litigation, Pro Bono and Public Interest Committee Newsletter
During the 1950’s and 1960’s, the peak of the Civil Rights movement, it was the norm for qualified persons of color to be denied access to well-paying jobs and higher education. Race was often the motivating factor for an institution of higher learning or an employer to reject the skills and qualifications of a minority. Over 50 years later, much debate is still stirring around the issue of race and its role in the college admissions process- except this time, the argument is that affirmative action is denying access to qualified non-minorities. The Supreme Court is taking another look at affirmative action in the college admissions process and will render a decision this summer as to its constitutionality.
