New Voices in Civil Rights: How Universities are Responding to SFFA

President and Fellows of Harvard College held that the Constitution prohibits the use of race as a "bonus" in admissions decisions. The demographic data reflect a variety of admissions policy changes. Four new voices in civil rights law--all recent law school graduates--will summarize trends in post-Fair Admissions admissions policies and data to explain how institutions of higher education responded to the Fair Admissions decision.
