Federal Action on Affirmative Action
[politics
]
Insider HigherEd reports this morning on an interesting reversal on the 2006 Affirmative Action ruling which made broadening participation in higher education (and STEM) more difficult. If this reversal holds, it will be a Big Thing.
The original voter ban changed the way higher education talked about and measured diversity. Some of those changes were healthy, some were fake. With this impending change, I hope higher education can keep the best practices it developed for diversifying colleges and Universities.
