U.S. Bishop Joseph Perry Responds to Supreme Court Decision to End Affirmative Action in Colleges and Universities
Submitted by Joan Plumley
This ruling on June 29, 2023 effectively ended race-conscience admissions. Here is Bishop Perry’s statement: “Education is a gift, an opportunity, and an important aspect of our democracy that is not always within the reach of all, especially racial and ethnic groups who find themselves on the margins. It is our hope that our Catholic institutions of higher learning will continue to find ways to make education possible and affordable for everyone, regardless of their background.”
