INTRODUCTION:
In this episode, we present the “Affirmative Action and the Supreme Court: What’s at Stake?” panel that took place on Oct. 13, during the 48th American Association for Access, Equity and Diversity (AAAED) National Conference & Annual Meeting — themed "Building an Infrastructure for Equitable and Sustainable Change."
Moderated by your host Dr. Jamal Watson, the panel discusses the latest challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court against race-conscious admission policies at the University of North Carolina and Harvard University. Could the rulings in these cases effectively lead to the end of affirmative action in higher education as we know it? And what would that mean for other racial equity work being done?
PANELISTS:
David Hinojosa, director of Education Opportunities Project Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
Theodore M. Shaw, Julius L. Chambers Distinguished Professor of Law & director of the UNC Center for Civil Rights, UNC School of Law
Carol R. Ashley, Of Counsel, Jackson Lewis PC
