Brief for the United Negro College Fund and Kappa Alpha Psi as Amici Curiae in Support of Respondents in Grutter v. Bollinger, et al.
Legal Brief - February 18, 2003
-
- The exclusion of African Americans from the nation's traditionally white educational institutions resulted in a long history of disproportionate numbers of African Americans attending under-resourced schools.
- The dramatic increase in African American access to higher education over the past several decades was not achieved through efforts like UNCF's alone, but was also the result of efforts by traditionally white institutions to foster racial diversity.
- Colleges, universities, and professional schools must continue to be able to consider race in admissions and financial aid in order to maintain access by African Americans.
