ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The 2023 US Supreme Court holding in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina, et al. has changed the landscape in higher education admissions processes by declaring affirmative action unlawful. It is imperative that those working in higher education admissions understand the ruling and implement contemporary best practices. Institutions of higher education who wish to promote student diversity are tasked with developing alternative strategies to affirmative action and must steer clear from using race as a determinant factor in admissions decisions. Aiming to identify diversity in individuals' lived experiences, focusing on recruitment efforts that organically lead to diverse applicants, adopting holistic, mission-driven admissions processes, and enhancing robust retention efforts may be effective means of fostering student diversity.
