Harvard University signaled Thursday that the school might seek loopholes to the Supreme Court's decision striking down its race-based admissions scheme, according to its reaction to the decision.
The Supreme Court struck down using race as a factor in the admissions processes of both Harvard and the University of North Carolina.In response, Harvard leadership issued a statement relying on a line of the opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts that"nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.
Harvard President-elect Claudine Gay also issued a statement, saying that the decision will change how the school conducts its admissions process but highlighting the"educational benefit of diversity" and promising"our commitment to that work remains steadfast.""The court was clear that 'what cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly,'" Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow GianCarlo Canaparo told the Washington Examiner.
"U-M’s experiences demonstrate what research has now shown clearly — that it is much more difficult to achieve racial diversity in the student body using only race-neutral methods than by including race in the admissions process in a narrowly-tailored manner," a letter from university President Santa Ono and provost Laurie McCauley said."In the face of these challenges, we persist.
