Supreme Court decision to uphold affirmative action

ILACHE applauds the Supreme Court decision to uphold affirmative action in American public universities. Diversity is a compelling educational goal, critical in preparing students to live and work in a global economy. As the affirmative action debate continues, we ask that universities and colleges hold fast to their mission of preparing all students to live and work in a multicultural society. Now is the time for bold measures to increase the college access and degree attainment of diverse students. If higher education falters in this mission, we will endanger our economy, fail our country, and threaten our future. ILACHE will continue to be an active participant in safeguarding diversity in higher education.
