"Justice Jackson is right: Why should some families ("legacies") and backgrounds be honored at universities and not others? Affirmative action has helped generations of well-qualified students access higher education--and helps our workforce reflect the diversity of America itself.
"The Supreme Court approved #AffirmativeAction multiple times over four decades of well-settled jurisprudence. Overturning the current standard for reviewing race conscious admissions policies in higher education would be an extreme departure from settled law and SCOTUS precedent."
