Former President Donald Trump predictably hailed the Supreme Court’s decision prohibiting colleges’ and universities’ from considering race in their admissions, calling the ruling an “amazing” result that will “keep [the U.S.] competitive with the rest of the world.”
Key Facts
- “This is a great day for America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “We’re going back to all merit-based—and that’s the way it should be!”
- Trump made the comments hours after the conservative-majority court ruled that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina’s policies of taking race into account in their admissions processes violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection clause.
