Public Opinion on Race in College Admissions and Affirmative Action
TL;DR Summary
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 63% of US adults say the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems. However, 68% of adults said race and ethnicity should not be a significant factor in college admissions. The poll reflects general support for affirmative action even as the future of the practice remains in doubt. The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on lawsuits challenging admissions systems at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
