On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard five hours of oral arguments on race-conscious admissions in Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admission v. University of North Carolina. Earlier this year, ASAHP joined the Association of American Medical Colleges and 45 health professional and educational organizations in an amicus curiae brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the limited consideration of an applicant’s racial or ethnic background or experiences in higher education admissions. A ruling is expected in June.
