BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to hear a pair of cases that challenge the race-based affirmative action policies for admission at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. The cases likely will be argued next term.
The ratio of liberal to conservative professors, say 10-1, is a result of diversity, equality and inclusion on college campuses.
They wouldn’t have taken the case unless 5 Justices were interested in making new law.
That would include the Supreme Court for allowing the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Don’t hold your breath.
YES
But we can always run to Dr. Jill Biden. Oh, wait, that EdD. thing.
Whoopi Goldberg, March 3, 2020 on The View: "Goldberg began, “I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife.” “Joe Biden’s wife. She would never do it but, yeah, she’s a hell of a doctor. She’s an amazing doctor,” she went on, earning some scattered applause from the audience."
There’s a simple solution nobody has even considered. Cut off their Federal aid. If they want to have these quotas and other racist policies, as a private institution, they get to do so. But we should not be supporting it with our tax dollars.
Roberts has been steadfastly opposed to using race in admissions. He voted against it every time it has been before him.
a number of USA colleges have a horrid record being racist, antisemitic, and anti-Christian.
instead of saying they’re anti-American or anti-white or antisemitic or anti=Asian, they just say they “seek diversity”
it stinks and must be terminated if USA is to have any chance of recovery
In the 70's eighty percent of my professors were liberal...And I just realized they were ALL white men. (including grad school at USC)
They took two cases because Harvard is private -- and so that's a Civil Rights Act case, while UNC is public so that amounts to a matter of Constitutional law.
I have pretty much zero doubt on 6 votes for the UNC case. I could see Roberts perhaps coming out differently in the Harvard case, but the underlying statutory language about discrimination on the basis of race is pretty damn clear, so I think there will still be 5 votes to strike that down as well.
If I had to guess, I think both of them go 6-3.
UNC with their FAKE Black Studies courses to pull Black athletes into slavery!
If you get a fake diploma you are a slave to the left because they are the only ones that will employ you in the SPORTS field. After that they send you back to the Ghetto!
Then in 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger.
It has been 25 years since Justice Powell first approved the use of race to further an interest in student body diversity in the context of public higher education. Since that time, the number of minority applicants with high grades and test scores has indeed increased. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 43. We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.A case based on the diversity fallacy.IV
In summary, the Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit the Law School's narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body. Consequently, petitioner's statutory claims based on Title VI and 42 U.S.C. S: 1981 also fail.
Nobody get to that sort of position without being full of themselves and full of personal ambition. Not much humility.
Diversity fallacy is right.
“to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body”
A conclusion based on activist’s assertions, nothing more.
What “benefits” might they be referring to? Easier grades for the smart people who get in since the not-so-smarts pull the curve down?
Funny how they can change all of American society with one stupid conclusionary statement.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
I think there’s about a 0% chance that quote doesn’t make it into an opinion striking down race-based preferences.
From your keyboard....
Maybe the rest of the country is catching up with California?
I hope that’s right, but the flimsier justices could claim “settled law” as an out, and still be welcomed in the DC Cocktail Circuit.
That they took the case is a good sign. Harvard and UNC won, and they and the DOJ did NOT want this in front of SCOTUS, who seem willing to at least consider overturning Fisher.
Personally, I hope it’s 5-4 with Roberts against us, allowing Thomas to write a solid, constitutionally literate ruling that permanently kills racial quotas. If Roberts writes the opinion/ruling, it will be weak and narrow.
Still, not counting my chickens before they hatch.
In this case, it's Asian Americans that are suing Harvard and UNC.
