Partners: Asian Multicultural Council, Asians Demanding Justice

The Supreme Court’s recent SFFA v. Harvard decision prevents higher education institutions like WashU from considering race as a factor in admissions, which may affect diversity in future classes at WashU. There have been several isolated discussions and ideas about what students at WashU can do to respond, and encourage the university to respond, to the decision with alternative diversity-enhancing measures; however, we have yet to solidify a concrete direction after these conversations. The Asian Multicultural Council and Asians Demanding Justice are excited to host an Affirmative Action Discussion Forum this Civic Action Week. Our forum will begin with a brief summary of the decision and its impact, followed by a share-out of student ideas and conversations about the decision and then an open forum. We hope this event will begin building the foundations of a multiracial coalition of students committed to seeing equitable access to education in the years to come.

This event was submitted as a student proposal and collaboratively designed in partnership with the Gephardt Institute.
