"Biden administration's diversity recommendations for colleges unveiled"

The Department of Education has released a report recommending strategies for colleges and universities to promote diversity following a Supreme Court ruling that limited affirmative action. While race can no longer be considered in admissions, the report suggests considering how race has impacted an applicant's life and investing in outreach programs to recruit diverse and lower-income students. The department also emphasizes the importance of campus climate and highlights diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Several states have enacted legislation targeting such programs, but the Biden administration is pushing for colleges not to abandon the pursuit of diversity.
