The recent admissions cycle following the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action revealed unexpected outcomes at elite colleges, with many reporting an increase in Black and Latino student enrollment. This contrasts sharply with predictions of declining diversity, raising two theories: that diversity can be maintained without direct racial considerations or that some institutions are potentially disregarding the ruling. Notably, schools like Yale and Dartmouth have reported stable or improved diversity metrics, emphasizing the complexity and ongoing debates surrounding race in admissions that may continue to evolve through future litigation.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard was expected to decrease diversity at elite colleges, but numbers show an unexpected increase instead.
The surprising retention of racial diversity at elite universities since the Supreme Court ruling suggests that these institutions may effectively circumvent the decision.
