Hi everybody, heres what to know about what the ruling may mean for Black and Latino students: Nine states already ban the use of race-conscious college admissions at their public universities, and their experience could provide a sign of the consequences from the Supreme Courts ruling on Thursday that curtails affirmative action. After Michigan banned race-conscious admissions in 2006, Black undergraduate enrollment declined at the University of Michigan. The share of Black students fell to 4% in 2021, from 7% in 2006. A similar drop took place at the University of Californias most selective schools after a 1996 referendum, Proposition 209, banned race-conscious admissions. That year, Black students at the University of California, Los Angeles, made up 7% of the student body. By 1998, the percentage of Black students had fallen to 3.43%. In 2022, it was up to 5% but still well below what it had been more than a quarter-century earlier. At highly selective liberal arts colleges, officials expect that the number of Black students could return to levels not seen since the 1960s.
when you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression
