The Biden Administration Has Released New College Admissions Guidelines After The Supreme Court Struck Down Affirmative Action

Following the overturn of affirmative action in June, the Biden administration has released new college admissions guidelines intended to further promote college education to recruit students from disadvantaged races.

 

According to Politico on August 14, the Biden administration released new guidelines earlier in the day to help colleges find legally viable ways to recruit and admit more diverse classes to campuses.

 

On June 29, the US Supreme Court ruled that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina's race-considering admissions policies were unconstitutional, effectively banning the use of race in admissions at US colleges and universities.

 

U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a press conference call, "We know what happened at universities in the past when individual states banned affirmative action. Fewer students of color are applying, and fewer students of color are being accepted. Across the country, we can't afford to go backwards."

 

New "guidelines" require universities to identify potential barriers to higher education for underrepresented students. The guidelines also urge college admissions agencies in the United States to review their admissions preferences, including "legacy status or donor relationships unrelated to a potential applicant's personal strengths or potential." In a Q&A on the guidelines, the Justice and Education departments said it would further benefit privileged students and reduce opportunities for others who are denied advantage.

 

According to the Biden administration, the guidance ensures that colleges understand the extent of their legal authority, so that these schools can initially open their doors to students of color. At the same time, the administration stressed that universities can still consider how race affects an applicant's life and personal characteristics, even if "the applicant associates these characteristics with their race."

 

Regarding possible next steps, Cardona said, "The Department of Education is expected to announce an initiative in September that will emphasize 'building an inclusive and diverse student body, including how colleges take adversity seriously when selecting qualified applicants.'"

 

According to reports, the rise of the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1960s prompted the US Congress to enact affirmative action. The law provides for disadvantaged groups such as minorities and women in college admissions and government recruitment. The act is committed to eliminating racial discrimination and giving more preferential policies to disadvantaged groups.

 

However, some schools have mandatory quotas for students of a certain ethnic group, which has led to the controversy of "reverse discrimination".
