247. What is Affirmative Action? And Why Did the Supreme Court End It? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Thinking in English
The Supreme Court's Decision to End Race Based Affirmative Action in College Admissions
Supreme Court decision to end race based affirmative action in college admissions raises important questions about the future of diversity and inclusivity. The ruling may lead to a decrease in minority representation at top universities as previous bans on affirmative action have already shown. Universities need to explore new methods to promote diversity, such as emphasising affirmative action based on wealth and family income. Certain professions, such as law and medicine, already struggle with diversity and the ruling may make the issue worse. Although it may be difficult, I think ending affirmative actionbased on race is a chance for the USA to create a new and fairer version of affirmativeaction based on wealth.
