Understanding the Impact of the 2023 Supreme Court Decision to Ban Race-Conscious Admissions at Colleges and Universities on Incoming Class Diversity and Undergraduate Admissions Policy

This grant is funded in part by the Spencer Foundation.

Many universities have adopted race-neutral admissions policies in response to the 2023 Supreme Court decision in the Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) cases. Sociologist Steven Dandaneau and education scholar Bryan Cook will examine the impact of the SFFA case on incoming class diversity and undergraduate admissions policies. They will analyze data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and the National Association for College Admission Counseling survey data on admissions policies and practices for their study.
