Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jun 30, 2023 / 14:30 pm The Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU) as well as numerous Catholic universities blasted the U.S. Supreme Court’s Thursday decision to overturn affirmative action in higher education.
In a June 29 press release, the ACCU called the court’s decision “more than disappointing,” saying that it ignores “the more-than-apparent effects of continued racism in our society.”
In a controversial 6-3 decision penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, the nation’s highest court effectively struck down public and private universities’ ability to include race-based affirmative action in their admissions decisions.
“In doing so,” the ACCU said, the court “undermines the work that higher education has voluntarily taken on for many decades to be a solution in a society that provides too few solutions for this social evil [racism].”
The ACCU, the self-described “voice of Catholic higher education,” said that “within the bounds articulated by this latest decision” it would continue to be guided by Catholic social teaching “to create paths by which those in society who do not have opportunity find it at our institutions.”
For decades, many universities have used affirmative action in their admissions programs to increase minority representation on their campuses. However, some have argued that affirmative action promotes the admission of certain ethnic minorities at the expense of others, often negatively impacting Asian students.
In the ruling, Roberts wrote that “Harvard’s consideration of race has led to an 11.1% decrease in the number of Asian-Americans admitted to Harvard.”

Catholics need to ask themselves why they’re afraid to open their classes up to Asians who will mop the floor with their Irish students. Black kids will do just fine in schools that accept them on merit...
Should they have quotas for Jews, Buddhists, Muslims....?
Irish students ?
What about the other people with European ethnicity.
…..
The RCC anti human since the 1st century AD. The same people who are spending billions flooding western nations with refugees who hate white people, that tells me all I need to know. Now they want racism to continue. Pitting one side, one race, one religion, one person against another since the birth of that abomination. That is the RCC.
It is not Catholics so much as these fake orgs that put the word Catholic in their name. Yes, lots of catholics are democrats but not all and maybe not even 50%.
You’re right. Insightful.
Only 26 of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities’(ACCU) 197 U.S. Catholic colleges and universities made it onto the Newman Guide’s recommended list this year. These 26 colleges all teach theology, ethics, and reasoning. They all have strict rules governing campus life. They all have vibrant campus ministry and a strong Catholic culture. Rather than embrace society’s prevalent culture, these schools are truly counter-cultural.

There are a lot of reasons I’m not a practicing catholic anymore....my beliefs and my faith have not changed...the catholic church has abandoned me and my faith....but my faith has not wavered, nor will it.
Catholic schools need to worry about all the progressives and anti-catholics they hire...Michael Smalanskas supported traditional marriage at a “”catholic college”” and was threatened with rape and death...The liberal catholic priest running it sided with the terrorists.......
Catholic universities want to discriminate against Asians, white Jews and males.
Once again the Catholic hierarchy show its true Marxist/leftist values and its hatred for what made the USA great. The Catholic Church is far more comfortable with oppressive dictatorships than with free people and is working as faithfully as the legacy media to support the Democrat’s headlong rush to tyranny.
There are no hyphenated Catholics.
What everyone seems to miss is that the solution is to help youth become better prepared to compete. But failed educators are blind to the obvious solutions.
Baloney!
They have a weird definition of voluntary.
Guessing that few or none of these schools are actually Catholic? Also, why do they hate Asians so much?
This ends in 2017. 6 years later today, it is probably in single digits for the age group 21-29.
You never up-to-date polls when you need them. I am sure the plot trends to the low 20s.
