Even with the Supreme Court’s 2003 Gratz v. Bollinger decision to uphold the consideration of race in admissions decisions, issues associated with race, ethnicity, and gender in education remain part of our national discourse. We believe it’s imperative that education leaders develop effective, mission-driven, legally sound policies that will advance their core education goals, and that they do so in resourceful, efficient ways.
