HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED AFTER AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ENDED IN THESE 4 STATES

Antonio Pequeño IV
Forbes Staff
I cover breaking news.
Jun 29, 2023,10:40am EDT|



TOPLINE

The effects of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action
will take time to materialize—but a 2013 Harvard study found that after
affirmative action ended in key states “sharp declines” in the workplace
followed for Asian women, Black women and Hispanic men.



Study found “significant loss” in workplace [+][-]
diversity when affirmative action was repealed by four states from 1996 to 2008.

KEY FACTS

The study, which ranged from 1990 to 2009, examined California, Michigan,
Nebraska and Washington after those states banned affirmative action.




Once affirmative action was repealed in the states, workforce participation from
Latino men decreased by 7%, Black women’s participation decreased 4% and Asian
women’s participation decreased 37%—the study notes that the last figure was
particularly large because few Asian women were in the workforce.




Black women’s decrease in participation continued to drop up until five years
after the ban, while Hispanic men’s decline continued through the third year and
Asian women’s decline was limited to the first year after the ban.



The study’s 19 year duration allowed the author to examine the share of
minorities and women that worked in state and local government before and after
affirmative action bans went into effect.


KEY BACKGROUND

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of/against two cases focused on the role of
students’ race in college admissions processes. With the Court’s rulings on the
lawsuits—Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. University of North Carolina and
Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University—race will no longer be able
to be considered as a factor in college and university admissions decisions.
Such changes could significantly shift the composition of collegiate student
bodies across the country. A poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research found that most Americans believe race should have a
small role in college admissions as opposed to being outright banned, with 63%
of the poll’s respondents saying the Supreme Court should not block colleges
from considering race or ethnicity in admission decisions.




CONTRA

Critics have argued that in addition to White and Asian students being
discriminated against, affirmative action takes away from the achievements of
minority students in favor of satisfying quotas.


BIG NUMBER

74%. That’s the percentage of adults surveyed in a 2022 Pew Research Center
study who believed race should not be considered in college admissions
decisions.


TANGENT

Bans on affirmative action at universities, which greatly impacted minority
student populations, are not unprecedented. When the University of California
system eliminated affirmative action in 1995, the number of Black and Latino
students accepted by Berkeley and UCLA was cut by nearly half by 1998, the first
year affected by the ban. Black and Latino students made up for 32% of all
University of California admits in 2022, compared to the 15% of admits they
represented in 1998, according to system data.
