On The Basis Of Race NEW: A likely supreme court ruling against affirmative action will force big changes at colleges and companies 🔗:

.

Or, as University of Maryland education professor Julie J. Park puts it:"It's just going to be an earthquake."Ground zero for that earthquake will be offices like that of Matt McGann, director of undergraduate admissions at Amherst College.

McGann's fear is that Amherst will go the way of the University of Michigan and University of California at Berkeley, two top public schools that were forced to abandon race-conscious admissions preferences after voters in those states passed referenda barring the practice.

"The SAT gap is really about wealth and income gaps that track with race," Tillery says."It's not that Asians are super geniuses and that's why they have higher scores. It's that they have more affluent families than Black or Latinx families and even more than the white families, and they are preparing for the test in ways that require money.

"One of the things the court does is plant little time bombs that will explode later on," Howard's Powell says."Today, we're ostensibly talking about education. But there is a spillover effect, for example, in government contract set-asides for minority businesses [because] they exclude whites who want to participate. It's an example of reverse discrimination. So we need to review and overturn all public contracts. Same thing with employment.
