The U.S. departments of Education and Justice are calling on colleges to partner with school districts to bolster resources and programs for students of color, in direct response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning race-conscious admissions.
“By partnering with school districts in underserved communities, supporting improved access to high quality advanced courses, and investing time and resources into programs that identify and nurture students’ potential, colleges and universities can ensure that more students will be prepared to apply to colleges and universities, gain admission, succeed, and graduate,” the departments said in a Dear Colleague letter Monday.
