The brilliant @ProfJanelleWong explains that the cases against affirmative action were orchestrated by Ed Blum (a conservative, white legal entrepreneur) who has fought for decades to gut race-conscious policies, including Shelby County v. Holder and Fisher v. University of Texas
Just logged into the Affirmative (Re)Action webinar and met with a chorus of "You won't break my soul, you won't break my soul." This is already A WHOLE MOOD. True to the Trojan sprit, let's continue to FIGHT ON!
In response to the U.S. #SupremeCourt’s new ruling on race-conscious #admissions, USC Professor Shaun Harper, one of our nation’s most influential racial equity experts, will provide practical guidance for higher education professionals in this forum. https://t.co/wzBzY19Ber
In tomorrow’s national forum, I will offer practical guidance on race-conscious things that CAN BE LAWFULLY DONE on campuses. Register here: https://t.co/IHVXFDmFfD #AffirmativeAction#SupremeCourt#SCOTUS#Harvard
NASPA condemns SCOTUS decision on race-conscious admissions. More than ever, we must affirm that fostering an inclusive campus remains an integral part of the mission of higher ed, and is key to cultivating academic inquiry and advancing student success.

As the Supreme Court's majority opinion makes so clear, we, as a society, must understand that colorblind rhetoric will do nothing to solve color-bound problems. Now more than ever, we need our leaders to have the courage to confront our history and our challenges head-on.
The SCOTUS ruling to strike down race-based admissions at Harvard and U.N.C. is NOT a win for #AsianAmericans
Asian Americans have been used as a pawn and a wedge in a fight against #affirmativeaction
White students will benefit most from this decision.

Let us never forget who benefited most from affirmative action (yt women) since there’s a false claim that Black, Indigenous, & people of color are the ones who benefited at the expense of more qualified white people. The historically excluded are still systematically excluded.
Asian Americans are often being used as a face and tactic to challenge affirmative action. We refuse to be used as a wedge to end a policy for racial justice and equality. #WeBelong
Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.
Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
