How Supreme Court Striking Down Affirmative Action Will Impact Students

Some HBCUs are expecting an increase in college applications following the Supreme Court ruling, according to Axios.
“As the largest organization exclusively supporting the Black college Community, we invite allies to join us in our ambitious mission to create a more equitable society,” Harry L. Williams, the president of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, an organization that supports public HBCUs, said in a statement.
“Since their inception, HBCUs have always been agents of equity, opportunity, and excellence in education. Going forward, HBCUs will continue to serve as vehicles of upward mobility for their students, engines of economic growth for their respective communities and a locus of intellectual discourse and scholarship on issues ranging from genetic research to social justice.”
A concern is a lack of funding for HBCUs, which have already seen an increase in enrollment in recent years. According to Eddy Carder, an assistant professor of constitutional law and philosophy at Prairie View A&M, schools will need additional resources, including building, space and technology.
