'The nation’s highest court will soon be immersed in the work of fundamentally reshaping the future of higher education in this country.' More from danschnur in our Perspectives section:
However, equally large majorities of Americans do support programs that are designed to increase the racial diversity of student bodies, which suggests that most of us believe that such diversity has its benefits as long it is accomplished through outreach efforts to underrepresented communities as opposed to automatic advantages that are part of an admissions formula.
But a disproportionate number of our nation’s leaders do come from these selective universities, and so the way they are admitted and with whom they interact throughout those formative years will have immense impact on the decisions they make throughout their careers. We want the people who run our government, our businesses, our media, our military and every other aspect of our society to understand the benefits of demographic and ideological diversity.
Balancing between these two goals is no easy task, but the stakes are enormous. In the near future, our Supreme Court will issue a decision that will shape how our future leaders learn, how they think and how they act. We’ll come back to the midterms next week, but even while the noise from the campaign trail drowns out these quieter conversations, these longer-term seminal questions deserve our attention.
