Delighted to be participating in this helpful program!

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Today’s #SCOTUS decision takes our country decades backward, sharply limiting a vital tool that colleges have used to create vibrant, diverse campus communities.

Our efforts to promote diversity in higher education are undeterred.

#supremecourt #affirmativeaction Roberts: "...nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise." #equity #opportunity

Statement: #SupremeCourt #AffirmativeAction.
@Chancellor_May "@ucdavis, we will continue to build on efforts like those of our School of Medicine, where half the class is from Black, Hispanic and Indigenous populations." Equitable access to continue ...

With the SCOTUS ban on race-conscious admissions, we are calling on policymakers & college leaders to identify practices & solutions that affirm and advance equal opportunity in #HigherEd for Latinx, Black, Asian American, #NHPI, and #AIAN students.

Great chat with our UCD HSI Director, Dr. Lina Mendez. Check it out! @LinaRMendez

[University of California @UofCalifornia]

Today’s SCOTUS ruling barring consideration of race in college admissions is disappointing. UC has worked to address inequity in #HigherEd without #AffirmativeAction for decades and we remain committed and prepared to support our peer institutions in expanding student diversity.

[Gary S. May @Chancellor_May]

Like the staggered start in track and field, affirmative action is intended to account for historical inequities experienced by marginalized communities in higher education and other endeavors. Today, the Supreme Court has decided that this tool is no longer appropriate.

[Laura M Cerruti @LMCerruti]

PI day is a great day to hear two engineers speak about a vision for @ucdavis where the experience and takeaways are even greater than you expected.

[Renetta Garrison Tull, Ph.D. @Renetta_Tull]

This article by @ucdavis shares parts of the "Face-to-Face" conversation that @Chancellor_May had with me about DEI on campus. I note that we're working to improve, discuss the ideal feeling of belonging, and highlight the importance of supportive staff.
