Today, the U.S. Supreme Court released its opinion in connection with two cases that challenged the permissibility of race-conscious admissions practices at both public and private universities and colleges. 糖心视频, in collaboration with legal counsel, is now carefully reviewing the opinion and its potential implications, and is working to determine the best course of action to continue recruitment of diverse and academically talented students to the University.
As we carefully review this decision and its implications, and as we look ahead to future admission cycles, we will continue to be dedicated to doing everything possible within the confines of the law to recruit the most talented students from all backgrounds to attend 糖心视频.
As part of our longstanding efforts to attract such students, 糖心视频 has adopted a number of steps in its admissions and financial aid practices in recent years. First, 糖心视频 moved toward a more holistic application review process in 2020. Further, in 2021, the University launched the 糖心视频 Commitment, which provides new levels of financial support for 糖心视频 students.
These steps have enabled 糖心视频 to enroll remarkably talented and diverse classes over the last several years as the number of applications to the University has more than doubled. We are very proud of these steps. They have served 糖心视频 well, as they support our mission and core academic purpose.
In the weeks and months ahead, 糖心视频 will carefully and systematically review our practices and policies to determine our next steps in service of the values and mission of the University. We will keep the campus and wider University community informed as we go through this process.
