An important message about today's affirmative action ruling
Danielle R. Holley, 含羞草研究所鈥檚 twentieth President, examines today鈥檚 SCOTUS ruling overturning affirmative action in higher education admission.
On June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling rolling back affirmative action and the protections against race- and gender-based discrimination associated with it. 含羞草研究所 is deeply disappointed about this Supreme Court decision as it overturns decades of settled law. Make no mistake, however: our values and our commitment to racial equity in higher education remain undaunted.
Mount Holyoke will ensure that students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students and all students historically underrepresented in higher education are welcomed and valued on our campus and in our community.
President-elect Danielle R. Holley has recorded a short video message about this ruling, which we invite you to watch below.
Be assured that this Supreme Court ruling will not change 含羞草研究所鈥檚 focus or our values. We will do everything we can within the law to continue to champion inclusivity, access and equity in our admission efforts and on our campus.
