Saida Grundy publishes op-ed in The Guardian
Saida Grundy recently published an op-ed in The Guardian on the Supreme Court’s ruling ending race-conscious admissions. In “How Clarence Thomas orchestrated a new obstacle for Black students”, she writes: “As a set of legal statutes and governmental policies, affirmative action policies in college admissions intended to account for historical wrongdoings against entire groups of marginalized people – expressly Black Americans…But as of Thursday, those policies are effectively barred on a systemic scale. To fill the gap that the ban will inevitably leave, Black students will have to make individual cases as to why their own resilience over racial hardships makes them worthy of consideration.”
