Melissa Hart discusses 'Diversity under Scrutiny' at the Summit

The Supreme Court’s decision in Fisher v. University of Texas upheld the compelling interest in diversity in higher education as a justification for consideration of race in university admissions.

The Fisher decision will have consequences for public universities nationally. Thurs, 12:30 p.m. at the Diversity Summit.

Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy Steven Hayward will offer observations on this topic at the Diversity and Inclusion Summit, Thursday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m.
