President JoeBiden slammed the Supreme Court for reversing a college admissions affirmative action precedent a year after overturning Roe v. Wade. 'Today, the court once again walked away from decades of precedent,' Biden said.
"Today, the court once again walked away from decades of precedent,” Biden said at the White House on Thursday."The court has effectively ended affirmative action in college admissions, and I strongly, strongly disagree with the court's decision."Biden underscored affirmative action did not mean unqualified applicants were being admitted and encouraged colleges and higher education institutions to continue considering"the adversity a student has overcome.
"This is not a normal court," he added in response to a reporter's question about whether the court's legitimacy has been undermined. Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama also spoke out regarding the decision, which does not apply to military academies or preclude applicants from discussing race in their admissions essays, as Republican 2024 presidential candidates welcomed it amid similar legal challenges to other diversity policies.
