Supreme Court Decision
Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
Today, the Supreme Court delivered its decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. The Court held that Harvard College’s admissions system does not comply with the principles of the equal protection clause embodied in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The Court also ruled that colleges and universities may consider in admissions decisions “an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.” We will certainly comply with the Court’s decision.
We write today to reaffirm the fundamental principle that deep and transformative teaching, learning, and research depend upon a community comprising people of many backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. That principle is as true and important today as it was yesterday. So too are the abiding values that have enabled us—and every great educational institution—to pursue the high calling of educating creative thinkers and bold leaders, of deepening human knowledge, and of promoting progress, justice, and human flourishing.
We affirm that:
Because the teaching, learning, research, and creativity that bring progress and change require debate and disagreement, diversity and difference are essential to academic excellence.
To prepare leaders for a complex world, Harvard must admit and educate a student body whose members reflect, and have lived, multiple facets of human experience. No part of what makes us who we are could ever be irrelevant.
Harvard must always be a place of opportunity, a place whose doors remain open to those to whom they had long been closed, a place where many will have the chance to live dreams their parents or grandparents could not have dreamed.
For almost a decade, Harvard has vigorously defended an admissions system that, as two federal courts ruled, fully complied with longstanding precedent. In the weeks and months ahead, drawing on the talent and expertise of our Harvard community, we will determine how to preserve, consistent with the Court’s new precedent, our essential values.
The heart of our extraordinary institution is its people. Harvard will continue to be a vibrant community whose members come from all walks of life, all over the world. To our students, faculty, staff, researchers, and alumni—past, present, and future—who call Harvard your home, please know that you are, and always will be, Harvard. Your remarkable contributions to our community and the world drive Harvard’s distinction. Nothing today has changed that.
Sincerely,

Response to Supreme Court Decision
June 29, 2023 1-min. read
The following is a statement from NC State University:
The U.S. Supreme Court today made a landmark ruling regarding affirmative action in higher education. The Court’s decision is complex, and NC State, along with the UNC System, is currently reviewing the ruling and its potential impacts. NC State will of course follow the law.
NC State has every intention of continuing our critical public land-grant university tradition of admitting and serving talented and ambitious students from across North Carolina and beyond. We remain committed to providing the opportunity of a transformative NC State education to future leaders from all backgrounds, experiences and interests.
哦这样。我查新闻时第一个跳出来的是州大,真是的,不是它的官司还跳得那么起劲
是,爸妈越优秀,对孩子越有期待。我待过的几个好学区的家长群很有国内家长群的气氛,各种竞赛课外班满天飞,感觉压力很大。我家小朋友笑话我有一段时间尽跟他们说考大学的,今天是一个养鸡的男娃考上耶鲁,明天是一个修管道的女娃考上哈佛,都是从群里看来的。我自己都没意识到把压力传给他们了,赶紧住口。ccmath 写了: 2023年 6月 30日 02:00 这种公开信就是给本校的员工看的。哈佛的校长都要退休的人了,哪管的那么多。下任肯定就直接找legal cousel去问。
但是统计上的趋势不可逆转的,从90年代到00年代这二十年出国的,都是中国的精英,这些人的孩子这两年都在申请大学。所以last name是zhang, chen什么的肯定要难一些。亚裔内部肯定要细分了,菲律宾,柬埔寨,老挝都可能加分。这些在last name都很容易看出来。
有关心这个的可以听一下高院关于这个案子的debate, 特别是关于申请文书essay怎么看待的那一段是精华。各校legal counsel肯定要用这个来给招生的那些人做training。

好像清华出国的特别多,认识好几位清华爸爸或妈妈。
怎么看待申请文书是指这段新闻吗:
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that the decision does not prohibit universities from “considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.”
还是有别的?

UNC already made decision to no longer consider race factor when making hiring decisions.wh. 写了: 2023年 6月 30日 02:54 哦这样。我查新闻时第一个跳出来的是州大,真是的,不是它的官司还跳得那么起劲![]()
查到UNC Chapel Hill的回应,还是比哈佛耶鲁温和许多,先讲服从高法裁决,再讲多元化理念;可也没说死,只说领导层会继续讨论,和师生及时沟通——挺人性化:
https://www.unc.edu/posts/2023/06/29/a- ... -decision/
Dear Carolina Community,
This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. University of North Carolina, et. al., our case about race-conscious admissions. While not the outcome we hoped for, we respect the Supreme Court’s decision and will follow its guidance.
Carolina is committed to bringing together talented students with different perspectives and life experiences and to making an affordable, high-quality education accessible to the people of North Carolina and beyond. We are passionately public, and that will always be true. Our strategic plan’s first initiative is to “Build our Community Together.” We will build that community with you and work to provide a campus environment where all of our students know they belong and can thrive.
I know that this decision may raise questions about our future and how we fulfill our mission and live out our values. But Carolina is built for this, and we have been preparing for any outcome. Our leadership team will need time to thoroughly review the details of this outcome and its potential impact before determining specifically how we will comply with this decision. In the coming weeks, we will communicate our plans with the campus community.
For more information about this Supreme Court case, you can visit admissionslawsuit.unc.edu.
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Guskiewicz
Chancellor
那你真不错。我常常觉得无话可说,就不祝生日了。不过收到生日祝福是很开心的事,下次想起来还是应该像你一样祝一祝。我一同学说记得以前年年生日我们都联系,有一年流行pc-to-phone,我深更半夜给他打了个生日骚扰电话——我好像是不知道他在哪里,时差多少。他踩着拖鞋瞌充懵懂地跑到宿舍走廊里接电话,没好气地想骂人,一听是生日电话就高兴了,哈哈。
辩论我没看。大法官这句话是挺有争议。我本来在另一条新闻里看到的是从申请人的角度来说的,说申请人如果对自己的种族背景有经历有感想,那么直书无妨,无需回避。这么说我觉得无可厚非。但换成大学的角度,说大学可以考虑申请人关于种族背景的自述,那简直不是暗示是明示了。不知道辩论时有什么背景,让大法官加上这么一句。ccmath 写了: 2023年 6月 30日 07:56 跟这句话有关,就是开了个口子,虽然不能公然以race录取,但是从申请文书里面披露出来的racial background是可以用来做决定的。我记得当时就这一点辩论了好久。
非垂直式管理的好处,敢于说话。wh. 写了: 2023年 6月 29日 14:14 嗯,校长们从官司一开始到现在的公开回复一直是强硬的,多元多样化这一点始终没有改过口。撇开利益,大学或任何机构敢和政府唱对台戏还真是多元。没有一个中国校长敢对政府说半个不字。
