    Event Overview

    The historic ruling last summer reversed decades of precedent, ending the ability of colleges and universities—public and private—to consider race as one of the many factors in deciding which qualified applicants are admitted.

    As the dust cleared in the post-decision shock, a tumultuous year in college admissions followed: partial-year data shows more applications by nonwhite students earlier than ever. But this trend was somewhat overshadowed by the disappointing rollout of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), plagued by delays and glitches, which is likely to have a major impact on enrollment of students of color.

    The new reality is still to emerge clearly, but experts and advocates will discuss the trends they are seeing, how higher ed institutions are adapting, and what the future holds at a moment when American confidence in Higher Education hits a historic low.
