THREAD. Admissions officer here 🙋🏾‍♀️ IMO Harvard/UNC opinion is much narrower than I expected it to be and impact will be much less than I see a lot of people suggesting -- and possibly give institutions MORE ability to curate classes based on diversity interests 1/

As well as an interesting analysis of the majority opinion. And so do some of her followers:

we in the 3rd generation since the brown vs education ruling

Schools in my East Texas town desegregated in 1970, 16 years after “separate but equal” was declared unconstitutional. When I moved to “liberal” Austin in 1977, the fight over desegregation continued into the ‘80’s. And Austin notoriously underfunded schools in the “poor” side of town, v. the rich side, into the early’90’s when I moved away. Guess who lived, by racial category, in each “side”.

It took a generation, at least, to dismantle, or start to, what Brown declared could no longer be the law of the land. Do we really think, another generation in, that we’re all done here?
