After Affirmative Action

After Affirmative Action

This summer, the Supreme Court will decide the Students for Fair Admissions cases that challenge the legality and constitutionality of affirmative action in higher ed. Regardless of the ruling, several questions remain unanswered. Are racial preferences popular or unpopular? Will universities comply with a judicial mandate for equal treatment? And what is the next frontier for advocates of color blindness?

Renu Mukherjee is a Paulson Policy analyst at the Manhattan Institute and a Ph.D Student at Boston College who has written extensively on affirmative action, education policy, and Asian-American public opinion. She joins this episode to discuss the future of racial preferences in the U.S.
