- Colleges are pursuing alternative strategies to boost diversity in anticipation of a potential affirmative action ban.
- Wealth-based admissions preferences are not an adequate substitute for race-based affirmative action.
- Affirmative action remains necessary to remedy racial inequities and promote inclusion.
