Colorblind Universities and the Future of Higher Education

Lecture/Readings

In June 2023, the United States Supreme Court eliminated race-based affirmative action at colleges and universities – a decades-long battle and an extension of the debate over diversity, equity, and inclusion on campuses across the country. So, where does the relationship between race and higher education go from here? In "Colorblind Universities and the Future of Higher Education," Dr. Brandon James Render provides historical context for the recent Supreme Court decision and the deeper implications it has for colleges and universities beyond admissions. In the process, he illuminates how students, faculty, and administrators have responded to overcome similar assaults on accessibility, equity, and justice
