Supreme Court's Repeal of Affirmative Action Impacts Higher Ed

One year after the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action in higher education, the decision's impact extends beyond colleges, affecting industries like corporate settings and employment opportunities for people of color. The ruling has led to challenges in areas such as government contracts, employment, and lending spaces. Additionally, a documentary called 'Admissions Granted' explores the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action, focusing on the case against Harvard University and the implications for Asian American applicants. Universities like Duke have discontinued race-based scholarships post the SCOTUS ruling, emphasizing the need to support Black students through various means beyond financial aid. Moreover, a lawsuit against Northwestern Law School alleges biased hiring practices favoring minorities over more qualified white candidates, signaling potential legal challenges in academia. The SCOTUS ruling has prompted colleges to adjust admissions strategies and financial aid initiatives, sparking debates on equity issues like legacy preferences and standardized tests while leaving unanswered legal questions surrounding scholarships and programs for ethnic minorities.
