Mon, 10 Jul 2023 17:48:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Message from CEO of NACAC Regarding the Recent SCOTUS Decision on Affirmative Action https://phennd.org/update/message-from-ceo-of-nacac-regarding-the-recent-scotus-decision-on-affirmative-action/ Mon, 10 Jul 2023 17:48:16 +0000 https://phennd.org/?post_type=update&p=81889 In a guest essay published by the New York Times on July 2, I shared a message intended to inspire transformational investments in higher education by the corporations that benefit from the hard work many of you do to generate diverse classes of college and university graduates.

I wrote how government needs to fund higher education to a much greater degree, but that if “our government is failing higher education and dismantling laws that support its purpose, then other organizations must step in, or the nation will feel the effects of this disinvestment for decades.”

In another New York Times guest essay, NACAC member Olufemi Ogundele, associate vice chancellor of enrollment and dean of undergraduate admissions at the University of California, Berkeley, wrote, “It’s time to construct, maintain and defend equitable admissions systems.”

Please share these articles with your networks to inform more people about what our education system needs in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision against race-conscious admission practices.
