The Domino Effect of Striking Down Affirmative Action

This month, we're taking a look at the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that essentially struck down four-and-a-half decades of legal precedent that allowed higher-education institutions to consider race as one of the many factors in their admissions evaluations. While California has been grappling with this challenge since Prop 209 passed in 1996, now across the nation universities are seeking new ways to define college admissions that will help level an uneven playing field. Beyond admissions, we have questions about the domino effect this ruling will have not only on the makeup of incoming university students, but also the pipeline of college graduates entering the workforce, the ripple effects on DEI in hiring and the makeup of that workforce.

We turn to Dr. Monica Cox to help us unravel what this ruling means for our Future of Work.
