Statement on the SCOTUS Case

Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court announced that it would hear legal challenges to Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s admissions process, which currently considers race as one factor among many. The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Black Men’s Forum supports Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s admissions process and strongly believes in the importance of creating a diverse campus community. This lawsuit threatens to undermine efforts at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ and universities across the country to diversify their student populations and increase access to institutions of higher learning. As supported by multiple legal victories in lower courts, Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s admissions process is constitutional and works to create a diverse academic and social experience for all students. In closing, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Black Men’s Forum urges the Supreme Court to support Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s admission process.
