Despite SCOTUS affirmative action ban, University of Michigan still seeks diversity |
The ban on affirmative action by the U.S. Supreme Court will not sway University of Michigan from pursuing broader campus diversity, officials said, just as it has since the state barred public universities from considering race in admissions in 2006. What's going on?: The conservative majority on nation’s highest court decided on June 29 that higher education institutions violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protections Clause when race is considered on its own in admissions decisions. First in the state: Ann Arbor Public Schools is the first school district in Michigan to release a report quantifying the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions the district produces. |
