How universities can navigate affirmative action bans to protect
diversity in student admissions Diversity in higher education is
under attack as the Supreme Court considers the future of
affirmative action, or race-conscious admissions practices, at
American colleges and universities. In On the Basis of Race, Lauren
S. Foley sheds light on our current crisis, exploring the past,
present, and future of this contentious policy. From Brown v. Board
of Education in the mid-twentieth century to the current Students
for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill, Foley explores how organizations have resisted and
complied with public policies regarding race. She examines how
admissions officers, who have played an important role in the long
fight to protect racial diversity in higher education, work around
the law to maintain diversity after affirmative action is banned.
Foley takes us behind the curtain of student admissions, shedding
light on how multiple universities, including the University of
Michigan, have creatively responded to affirmative action bans. On
the Basis of Race traces the history of a controversial idea and
policy, and provides insight into its uncertain future.
