5 takeaways from the Supreme Court decision overturning affirmative action in college admissions - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The limited use of affirmative action on college campuses was first approved 45 years ago in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, with the court citing the importance of filling US campuses with students from varied backgrounds.
48% : Proponents of affirmative action are concerned that less-diverse student bodies will eventually mean fewer professionals of color in industries from medicine to politics.
39% : Colleges across New England are preparing for the end of affirmative action by reviewing policies and programs that could be at risk in light of the court's ruling and studying what has been learned from states like California, which spent years after the ban using race-neutral measures to try to build back diversity, consultants and higher education leaders have said.
