Government has no right to discriminate based on race.
That includes government schools.
We should abolish all race based government policies.

Do you think the ruling of the US Supreme Court will impact diversity in the workplace? How so?

[@stevenperry5592]

Yes but why should we care? If the goal of college is to educate why should we care. About something that does not matter such as race.
In sports we want the best, should diversity of race matter?
When you get a surgical operation so you want the best surgeons or a diverse group?

As seemingly racist as the Supreme Court ruling is, there's still the rapidly changing demographics of the country. The projection is that by 2042, Whites will be a minority; therefore, a diverse university + workforce is inevitable. As for the imminent danger facing DEI and CSR efforts in companies, I believe it'll be more financial. CSR is an expensive effort for companies to undertake. Companies that spend hundreds of thousands on CSR/DEI employees will have to answer for how much this has lowered the attrition rate or eased the ability to hire employees.
