The Biden administration released new guidelines Monday that encouraged colleges and universities to rethink the practice of legacy admissions in order to achieve diversity and comply with the Supreme Court's ruling banning affirmative action.
The guidelines were jointly created by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education and are billed as resources for colleges and universities to"understand the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina," two cases in which the court ruled that race considerations in admissions violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The two officials urged colleges to"review their policies to ensure they identify and reward those attributes that they most value, such as hard work, achievement, intellectual curiosity, potential, and determination" and noted there are several ways that they can achieve a racially diverse student body, including by reviewing legacy admissions.
