STATEMENT OF THE

ASSOCIATION OF CATHOLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

ON THE SUPREME COURT'S RACE IN ADMISSIONS RULING

 

Washington, DC—The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling on the use of race as a factor among the considerations for college admission is more than disappointing as it ignores the more-than-apparent effects of continued racism in our society. In doing so, it undermines the work that higher education has voluntarily taken on for many decades to be a solution in a society that provides too few solutions for this social evil.

At this moment of U.S. history, the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities chooses to be guided by its Catholic Social Teaching and will, within the bounds articulated by this latest decision, continue to create paths by which those in society who do not have opportunity find it at 
our institutions.


The ASSOCIATION OF CATHOLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, founded in 1899, serves as the collective voice of U.S. Catholic higher education. Through programs and services, the Association strengthens and promotes the Catholic identity and mission of its member institutions so that all associated with Catholic higher education can contribute to the greater good of the world and the Church.
