The Supreme Court won’t derail diversity at Rice
Preview:
Like many of our peers, Rice University is disappointed that American colleges and universities will no longer be allowed to consider an applicant’s race as one of countless important factors in an admissions application. As one Supreme Court justice observed, “Deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.” We are more resolute than ever that every day at Rice, we will pursue and celebrate the excellence that a richly diverse student body, filled with its manifold experiences, brings to our community of scholars.
