The effect of last month’s Supreme Court decision on affirmative action could push more students to consider historically Black colleges and universities, or HBCUs.
The effect of last month’s Supreme Court decision on affirmative action is still reverberating across the country. News 5 Anchor Courtney Gousman sought to find out how the ruling might impact campus diversity and learned there may be an unintended effect. With race no longer a factor in college admissions, the ruling could push more students to consider historically Black colleges and universities, or HBCUs.
“The historical racism has taken place when you look at higher ed in America; it is certainly something that we still feel is needed,” Brooks said. But given the fact that affirmative action helped level the playing field for students of color trying to gain access to more selective schools, which are often predominantly white, Brooks says he feels the Supreme Court ruling will end up boosting HBCU enrollment.
