Where: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82165043005?pwd=bHEydGU5SU0zeXRaNUwwSlJpcTZHUT09 As many of you know, the U.S. Supreme Court has ended race-conscious admission programs at colleges and universities across the country while advocating color-blindness to an individual's life experience. This meeting will be held to discuss how the decision affects other government entities, e.g., local government, with how race (once a compelling interest even in its previous context) and strict scrutiny apply moving forward.
