Universities cannot be trusted to uphold equality. They don't know the difference between equality and equity.

This article offers no evidence at all that universities are evading the ruling.

The ruling says you can't use race for admissions. The article appears to be arguing that eliminating admissions criteria that favored one race somehow violates that ruling. How?

Let me put rephrase what the article is ACTUALLY saying.... We finally won the right to keep those n_ _ _ _ _s out, and then the schools are going to get rid of our best tools for excluding them.

The race-based admissions policies were discriminatory and wrong. Absolutely. But any arguments that removing discriminatory barriers is somehow itself discriminatory is ALSO wrong.

At the end of the day, highly competitive schools will remain highly competitive. If what it takes to succeed in the quest for entry shifts, so be it. As long as "what it takes" is neither discriminatory in nature nor application.

Removing standardized test scores has JUST AS MUCH chance to help a white applicant as a black one. Or Asian, Hispanic, Native, etc. That is not an evasion.
