Eliminating Diversity Admissions by Trump Admin?

Chipster Study

Does anybody have any thoughts on how the move by the Trump Admin to outlaw diversity considerations in undergraduate and graduate admissions is going to play out? It seems like a step backwards for sure. I wonder if the law school adcomms will just keep going on as they are now or if it is going to really change the way things are done??

I think that after the Harvard lawsuit, schools are going to be much more "blind" to ethnicity factors. However, other types of diversity, like sexual/gender identity and disability, will be important for schools to look at. They want to increase their diversity stats to encourage more people to apply.

Good thoughts on the diversity being other than racial/ethnicity. They want more people to apply, but does not mean they actually want the new applicant pools to actually matriculate. You know, all that yield protect, etc.
