The Future of University Admissions after the Supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action — Wednesday, October 25, 2023

The Future of University Admissions after the Supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action — Wednesday, October 25, 2023

How can leaders in undergraduate, graduate, and professional admissions use this moment to create more equitable systems?

The recent Supreme Court rulings in SFFA vs. Harvard and SFFA vs. UNC have raised awareness among many that affirmative action was never a sufficient intervention for the myriad barriers to equity ingrained in typical selective admissions processes. The decisions, while disruptive and painful, have created an imperative for universities and units within them to reflect upon and, in many cases, make substantive changes to their policy and practice.

Join speakers from both scholarly and administrative perspectives as they discuss the work of leading admissions practices to align with equity and diversity, while also complying with increasing restrictive law. 

Speakers:
Julie R. Posselt — Associate Dean, USC Graduate School, Office of the Provost
Pedro A. Noguera — Distinguished Professor of Education, Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean
Kendra Ishop — Vice President for Enrollment Management
Jerome A. Lucido — Scholar-in-Residence USC Center for Enrollment Research, Policy and Practice
Art Coleman — Managing Partner and Co-Founder, EducationCounsel LLC
