About this sermon
The US Supreme Court is weighing in on just how far US colleges can go to achieve a diverse student body. At issue is admissions policies at both Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. Both colleges use race as an admissions factor. Education Reporter for the Washington Examiner, Jeremiah Poff, has been following this story for a while. Challengers in the case argue affirmative action programs are anything but colorblind, and in the case of Harvard actually discriminate against Asian Americans. Poff explains this. Both schools defend their use of race as an admissions factor as they say it is necessary to achieve a diverse student body. Poff discusses how the justices responded to this. He tells us if there is any talk as to how or if these policies affect academic or merit-based college applicants. The court's decision could have far-reaching consequences. Poff shares what this could mean for both public and private colleges around the US. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
