Tune in as we continue our discussion on one of the most complex topics in higher education today: race-conscious admissions. We delve into the advisory strategies and social impacts of the recent Supreme Court decisions (SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC); the use of race as a factor in college and graduate school admissions; and how the court’s decision will affect creating more equitable and diverse medical school student bodies.
