Education and civil rights leaders fear the Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action could result in more hate and discrimination on campuses.
, the incoming president of California State University, Sacramento, said he anticipates"that there will be elevated hate" across campuses nationwide as a result of the Supreme Court decision.
While leaders were reassuring students like Agustín León-Sáenz, a sophomore at Harvard, that they belong on campus, many students on the school's campus Thursday were expressing concern about how the ruling will affect aspiring college students of color.. He said he thinks about how it will affect his little brother, who will apply for college in a few years, and his cousin, who will apply for college in the fall.
"I hope that Harvard, as soon as it can, can ramp up undergraduate recruitment of under-represented minorities," León-Sáenz added."That, specifically to me, looks like going out to communities in New Mexico that are Indigenous, recruiting students of all nationalities and all backgrounds to come.
Based on his experience,"this only serves as a gateway into other conversations and pushback" that may affect college admissions, faculty hiring, scholarships, fundraising, student support services and retention efforts that are specifically designed for underrepresented communities, Wood said.
