Ernst Slams Biden Attempt to Skirt SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling

Press Release

"…your expressions of tacit support for affirmative action raise concerns regarding the extent to which the Department of Education (ED), as well as American colleges and universities, will uphold the Supreme Court's ruling of their own accord.

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and Students for Fair Admissions has made clear there must be strict limits to any consideration of race in college admissions. The importance of the ED Office for Civil Rights (OCR) faithfully implementing this landmark decision cannot be understated.

No policies derived from a racially motivated worldview benefit our democracy, our society, or our young college hopefuls. Each applicant deserves an equal chance to be admitted, regardless of their race. It is concerning to see your Department produce guidance to the contrary.

We call upon the Biden administration to embrace the full essence of the Court's holdings in both Students for Fair Admissions and Brown v. Board of Education: neither de facto nor de jure racial discrimination have any place in schooling. The American people deserve no less than an Executive Branch committed to enforcing the law equally to all people without concern for their race."
