Description:
Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking panel discussion about the legal landscape facing higher education admissions in the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and recent Executive Orders. This timely event will explore the profound implications of these legal changes on efforts to maintain diverse and inclusive student bodies amidst an evolving political climate.

Attendees will gain invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities that higher education institutions now face and how to navigate those challenges successfully.

Key topics to be covered include: (1) The impact of the Supreme Court's ruling on admissions policies and practices, (2) Strategies for higher education institutions to uphold diversity and inclusion in a shifting legal and political environment, (3) Practical advice and forward-thinking approaches to fostering an inclusive student community.
