Chicago's academic institutions must now wrestle with the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action.
The Supreme Court affirmative action decision has Chicago's academic institutions like Northwestern University wrestling with the aftermath.A divided Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor and forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.
The decision, like last year's momentous abortion ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, marked the realization of a long-sought conservative legal goal. Colleges and universities will be forced to reshape their admissions practices, especially at top schools that are more likely to consider the race of applicants.
Tillery said the ruling will fundamentally change the admissions process for elite colleges and universities like Northwestern and decrease diversity within them. He said while imperfect, affirmative action in higher education was an effort to actively integrate academic institutions that had remained largely segregated in the Jim Crow era and beyond.Peter Breen of the conservative Thomas Moore Society based in Chicago said the ruling is a win for the country and academic institutions as a whole.
