"Affirmative Action Ruling Puts Spotlight on HBCUs, Prompts Rethinking of Legacy Admissions"

The Supreme Court's decision to limit the use of race-conscious college admissions has sparked concerns about the impact on Black students' access to predominantly white institutions. However, education advocates believe this decision could shine a spotlight on the value of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) for Black students. The end of race-conscious admissions may lead to an increase in enrollment at HBCUs, offering an alternative for non-white students seeking schools where they feel comfortable in their diversity. While some experts worry about potential complications and funding gaps for HBCUs, others believe that these institutions will continue to provide outstanding education at a lower cost compared to predominantly white institutions.
