The US Supreme Court will soon hear the case that questions whether institutions of higher education can use race as a factor in admissions. The lawsuit, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, and UNC, argues that using race in admissions constitutes racial discrimination in violation of the Equal Protections Clause.
In anticipation of this decision, Diversity and Cultural Competency Committee is collaborating with the Student Affairs Committee to host a panel of thought leaders in admissions, law, and optometric education to discuss the potential ramifications in academic optometry.
