So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.

Way to go, SCOTUS. /s

    This is exactly right. There have been various interviews with college admissions directors over the past year, and they pretty much all said the same thing. To paraphrase, “We expect that AA will be struck down. If we can’t directly ask about race on the application, then we will achieve the same result by indirect means”.

    AA opponents mistakenly believe that colleges will now be forced to consider only grades and test scores. Nothing could be further from the truth.

      Yes and yes. I for one welcome efforts to increase diversity by looking at these other factors.
