"UNC-Chapel Hill Implements Race-Neutral Admissions Policy Following Supreme Court Ruling"

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has officially prohibited the use of "race, sex, color or ethnicity" in admissions and hiring decisions, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against their race-conscious admissions plan. The resolution, approved by the Board of Trustees, aims to comply with the court's decision and prevent preferential treatment based on race. The university is now exploring new methods to achieve diversity on campus, and recently announced a program offering free tuition to students from families earning less than $80,000 annually.
