Higher Education Institutions Criticized for Continuing Race-Based Admissions Practices
Higher education institutions across the United States are reportedly continuing race-based admissions practices despite a 2023 Supreme Court decision that found such standards violated the Civil Rights Act. According to The Washington Examiner, these institutions have developed creative workarounds to maintain these practices, particularly in medical school accreditations, which still emphasize achieving diversity outcomes. This has led to claims of discrimination against white men. The Trump administration has been noted for its determination to pursue race-blind admissions policies. The ongoing use of race in admissions decisions has sparked debate over the effectiveness and legality of these practices, with some administrators allegedly using intimidation tactics to enforce them.
