With the United States Supreme Court set to rule against race-based admissions policies, colleges are looking for news ways to continue to factor race when admitting students, according to Axios.

In October, after hearing oral arguments against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina’s use of affirmative action in their admissions processes, the Supreme Court showed favor towards ruling against the use of race-conscious admissions policies. In the event that the Supreme Court rules against the admissions practices, universities may axe standardized tests, which schools argue discriminate against minority students, according to Axios.
“A lot of people are still sort of in a wait-and-see pattern with test-optional policies,” Julie J. Park, an associate professor in the College of Education at the University of Maryland, told Axios.
In addition to dropping standardized tests, colleges may consider “the socio-economic background of a student” and focus their recruitment on different areas of the country to recruit students of color, Axios reported. Universities worry that without race-conscious admissions processes, they may not understand the entire student and their background.
“An applicant’s race is so connected to so many aspects of their life and their experiences and the background,” Vern Granger, the direct0r of undergraduate admissions at the University of Connecticut, told Axios. “I would worry about that and the impact on our holistic review and getting a full picture of the applicant.”

Since the Supreme Court heard oral arguments, several top law universities including Yale and Harvard Law school have pulled out of the U.S. News & World Report, a national ranking system, claiming that the “flawed” rankings fail to reward schools which help students who come from “low-income backgrounds” and have lower test scores. Universities could be potentially dropping out of the rankings ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling because they plan to deemphasize standardized tests in the admissions process to preserve diversity.
“I’ve heard the word diversity quite a few times, and I don’t have a clue what it means,” Justice Clarence Thomas said during the oral arguments. “It seems to mean everything for everyone.”
Though universities are yet to release their plans in the event of the Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, many institutions will have to make changes, Axios reported.
“Institutions are just going to be scrambling,” Park told Axios.
Granger, Park, Yale and Harvard law school did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
