The Affirmative Action Ban Doesn't Matter (Supreme Court Reaction)
On June 29th, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled to overturn affirmative action in the landmark case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. Although affirmative action has been chipped away at over the years, this ruling finally gutted the law. Interestingly, a Canadian national, Calvin Yang, became the public face of this movement, stirring additional racial resentment given his desire to paint himself as the savior of Asian Americans, many of whom are simply not on board with right-wing politics. Chief Justice Roberts also carved out an exception for military schools due to questions of social and military cohesion, a line of reasoning which opens up the door to government declarations of a "special interest" in other situations, as well.
In this video, poet, critic, and novelist Alex Sheremet of Automachination tackles the ruling, arguing that the day to day realities of affirmative action might make the ruling irrelevant in the long term. Specifically, the question of how universities will toe around the ban, through personal essays and student research, is open, as are questions surrounding the benefits of affirmative action given the growing class of "fallen professionals".
