Let's talk about the two cases that were in front of the Supreme Court at this minute. Or one dealing with Harvard. one dealing with the University of North Carolina. Brought by SFFA which is a student for fair admissions organization right-wing organization that is looking to essentially quash what remains of affirmative action in the admissions process in colleges. Would You Walk us through what the implications of these going away will be and then we'll talk about some of the suggestions that you have in the book to deal with this problem? So what we're dealing with in the Supreme Court in the Harvard and UNC cases now are essentially the same issues that the Supreme Court dealt with in the Michigan case in 2003 and in the two cases from the University of Texas. The only thing that's changed and the same group is finding them. It's a conservative organization that has a lot of black money. and they can't even and they're trying to not what they added focus is they're trying to divide students of color by saying Asian students are being disadvantaged by affirmative action at Harvard. But the only difference, the only thing that's changed is the Reagan justices. so even though they lost the same case twice in the two Texas cases. the Fisher cases. they're back again I think because they think they have the votes. So the implications of these things are that you take the affirmative action policies which are basically voluntary policies decided on by the great majority of selective colleges in the United States as necessary to produce even a semblance of diversity.
