The Supreme Court’s ruling on the end of race-conscious admissions programs has left colleges and universities scrambling for other methods to achieve racial diversity on campus. We face the likelihood of reduced enrollment of students of color at some of the nation’s selective institutions, narrowing these students’ higher education options.
Join The Century Foundation and NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service on Tuesday, November 14, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM ET, for a conversation focused on the ramifications of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision and how policymakers and colleges can improve equitable access to higher education.

- Sherry Glied, dean, NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service
- Mark Zuckerman, president, The Century Foundation
