SU to continue pursuing diversity if SCOTUS bans affirmative action in admissions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Syracuse University plans to pursue diversity and equitable admissions through recruitment in the case the Supreme Court bans affirmative action in college admissions, an SU spokesperson told The Daily Orange in a written statement.
48% : The case against UNC also calls into question whether the university should be able to reject a race-neutral alternative to affirmative action in order to maintain the composition of its student body.
48% : Are we going to interpret it in such a way that allows for affirmative action or extremely restricted circumstances, or are we interpreting in some way that it's a across the board prohibition on the use of race and ethnicity?"Student Association President David Bruen said rolling back of decades of legal precedent would be destructive and harmful to institutions like SU.
47% : The U.S. Supreme Court could ban the use of affirmative action and race-informed admissions following arguments on Monday in two cases against Harvard College and the University of North Carolina.
47% : "At least theoretically it allows colleges and universities to avoid the prohibition on affirmative action by turning down federal funding," Bybee said.
