Historic Ruling: U.S. University Admissions No Longer Consider Race

On June 29, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a historic ruling: in a 6-3 decision against Harvard University and a 6-2 decision against the University of North Carolina, the court ruled that their "affirmative action" admissions policies were unconstitutional. From now on, affirmative action can no longer be applied in U.S. university admissions, meaning universities are prohibited from using a student's race as a factor in future admissions decisions.

The case regarding Harvard University's discrimination against Asian applicants has long been a subject of widespread attention. Worldway Group has previously followed up on the situation of this case, and today we bring you the latest news.

 

On June 29, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a historic ruling: in a 6-3 decision against Harvard University and a 6-2 decision against the University of North Carolina, the court ruled that their "affirmative action" admissions policies were unconstitutional. From now on, affirmative action can no longer be applied in U.S. university admissions, meaning universities are prohibited from using a student's race as a factor in future admissions decisions!

 

"Affirmative action" refers to the practice of universities considering factors such as a student's race during the admissions process to provide preferential treatment to minority groups and ensure equal rights across races. Many prestigious U.S. universities, including Harvard, have adopted this principle. This ruling marks the end of decades of systemic consideration of race in the U.S. university admissions process. For Asian Americans, who have long been "suppressed" by the consideration of "racial factors," this is undoubtedly major positive news!

 

Chief Justice John Roberts noted in his written opinion that the admissions policies of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina do not comply with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives to warrant the use of race-based factors. He emphasized that students must be treated based on their individual experiences rather than their race.

Once this news broke, it caused a sensation across the United States. Major U.S. media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, pointed out that this is a landmark decision: it overturns more than 40 years of precedent regarding preferential admissions for African American and Latino students, and in the future, university campuses will see more white and Asian students.

 

In ancient times, Mencius's mother moved three times to find the best environment for her son; today, people choose where to live based on school districts. Even in the United States, the labels of Asian Americans valuing education and working hard have never been removed. This ruling will allow future Asian students to enjoy fairer treatment in the admissions process of prestigious U.S. universities.

 

As is well known, the United States is a powerhouse in education with numerous prestigious universities and top-tier educational quality, making it one of the primary destinations for study abroad and immigration for many students and families. In recent years, "immigrating first, studying abroad later" has become a new trend for overseas education, as holding a U.S. Green Card allows children to enjoy many hidden benefits in school selection, internships, employment, and other aspects. The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is highly favored by investors due to its lack of requirements for age, language, education, or business background, and the benefit that one application allows the entire family to immigrate.

 

For investors, now is an excellent time to immigrate to the U.S. quickly through the non-visa-backlog EB-5 program. Investors can choose the popular "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" project to immigrate to the U.S. This project qualifies as a rural TEA project under the new act, not only enjoying reserved EB-5 visa quotas but also receiving priority processing from the immigration authorities. It combines many advantages, including no visa backlog, an employment multiplier as high as 5.44, and the fact that the project's EB-5 funds will enjoy a first-priority mortgage guarantee!
