Abstract

This essay is based on a presentation made to the American Association of Educational Research and is designed to be accessible to non-law-trained staff in admissions offices throughout a university. It seeks to present the basic legal standards governing admissions and the policy choices that admissions committees must confront regarding diversity. It recommends admissions criteria that value diversity, while a companion essay urges renewed commitment to programs designed to increase the flow of diverse students through the kindergarten to high school (K-12) and college pipeline to higher education.

Keywords: equal protection, education, race-conscious admissions
