Online Public Relations Thoughts

Now that the Supreme Court has overturned affirmative action, colleges and universities are left to struggle with the question of diversity.  Their reputations over time will be affected by how they answer it.  They could start by ending legacy admissions, which perpetuate unfairness and a uniformity in the student body.  They could blend application essays with socioeconomic selection and outreach to poorer high schools.  They could end reliance on SATs.  They could do a number of things but none will guarantee the diversity they are searching for.  It will take hard work in the admissions offices and still there will be no guarantee of equitable selection.  It is an issue with winners and losers and always will be without open admission.
