<jats:p>Using race as a factor in admission decisions by U.S. colleges and universities—so-called affirmative action—has once again become a lightning rod for debate. Last month, several universities defended Harvard University against a lawsuit that attacks its use of race in student admissions. The backdrop of this case, and a similar one against the University of North Carolina– Chapel Hill, is even more disturbing. Also last month, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (DOE), both under leadership appointed by the Trump administration, encouraged “race-neutral” admissions practices, rolling back previous guidance for achieving diversity by these very agencies. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly allowed higher education institutions to consider race as one factor, among many, in admissions decisions. The rollback does not change that precedent.</jats:p>
