However, affirmative action became an alternative for institutions to favor individuals of minority groups with the consideration of other qualities of a candidate. For example, if a white and black individual had the same or very similar test scores, volunteer work, degree of pursuit, etc. then affirmative action allows for the black individual to be admitted but not the white individual on a legal standpoint.]]> 2022-04-26 20:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159209083 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159223837 The US Supreme Court agreed to hear a case regarding affirmative action in college institutions, meaning it is bound to affect all other colleges post-decision. The case will not be heard until October, with a decision not likely until mid-2023. This opens the floor for debate preceding the hearing, hence why it is a relevant topic up for discussion now.]]> 2022-04-26 20:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159223837 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159241818 For Affirmative Action: Would increase number of minority applicants for institutions and decrease socioeconomic biases.

Bakke deemed that the states ultimately have the final say in what their institutions follow. Hence, currently 8, previously 9, states have banned their institutions pursuing affirmative action.]]> 2022-04-26 23:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159377665 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159476785 One large debate topic of affirmative action is meritocracy: the concept of needing to work hard in order to earn your status. Those who argue against affirmative action note that minority groups attain an advantage and diminish society's meritocratic system by giving opportunities based on race. However, people in favor of affirmative action argue that a true meritocracy is a myth since minority groups are often given less opportunity to work hard to achieve status, so this system allows minorities to earn their status.]]> 2022-04-27 01:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2159476785 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2160704589 2022-04-27 16:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2160704589 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2160740224 Texas initially banned the use of affirmative action in college admissions, but this Supreme Court decision allowed for it to be used again. This was under the defense of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This is similar to the case being argued in 2022, yet the latter encompasses a more specified argument that will affect admissions at the national level, rather than a state policy.]]> 2022-04-27 16:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2160740224 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2161105880 It's important to note that affirmative action does not solely have to do with race, although it clearly plays a large role in debate. But race and ethnicity are not the only ways an institution can use affirmative action. Gender, (dis)ability, sexuality, economic status, and many other groups can also be viewed by institutions for a possibility of affirmative action.]]> 2022-04-27 21:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2161105880 homokijr https://padlet.com/homokijr/RaceAndEthnicityAffirmativeAction/wish/2161111728 https://edtrust.org/the-equity-line/debunking-5-myths-affirmative-action/
