What the end of affirmative action means for college applicants:
Alvin Tillery, a Northwestern University political science professor, explains that it’s unclear if the trend will be to prioritize diversity through other methods or not, but he’s optimistic. “Affirmative action was never a requirement of any law, which is why it was so easy to strike down,” Tillery says. “It’s not part of Title VII, it was never viewed as any kind of anti-discrimination work. Schools were doing this because they believed in the mission.
Some experts argue that other diversity initiatives don’t work as well as affirmative action, however. The University of California system eliminated affirmative action in 1995.
UCLA and the University of Michigan, two major schools in states that have outlawed race-conscious admissions, that the millions of dollars they spent on alternative diversity programs have not yielded substantial results.Affirmative action policies for higher learning institutions emerged in the 1960s as a popular method to combat racial inequality.
