Contributing sentiments towards policy:
48% : The decision to end affirmative action did not come as a surprise due to the court's makeup, but it still disappointed college administrators and Colorado leaders who noted that it doesn't just affect people's attendance at universities but also their future opportunities and those of their peers who won't learn from or work with people of diverse perspectives.47% :"Affirmative action (programs) have always acted at the margins, trying to avoid the worst of racial isolation," said Kevin Welner, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder who specializes in educational policy and law.
46% :"For over 45 years, affirmative action policies have helped to correct for past discrimination, to provide more opportunities to historically underrepresented communities, and to ensure that students can learn in diverse and inclusive environments. ...
46% : In Colorado, private schools would be impacted by the Harvard case, such as Colorado College -- which had a 14.3% acceptance rate in 2021 -- and even the University of Denver -- which had a 63.6% acceptance rate -- preventing them from using race as a factor in the process.
43% : Now, they say they will have to find alternatives to ensuring diversity in their student populations, many of which have proven difficult and have led to a diversity in workforces in other states that have banned affirmative action policies.
