Most in US say don't ban race in college admissions but its role should be small: AP-NORC poll

As the Supreme Court decides the fate of affirmative action, most U. S. adults say the court should allow colleges to consider race as part of the admissions process, yet few believe students’ race should ultimately play a major role in decisions, according to a new poll.

The May poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 63% say the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems. The poll found little divide along political or racial lines.

But those polled were more likely to say factors including grades and standardized test scores should be important, while 68% of adults said race and ethnicity should not be a significant factor.

The poll reflects general support for affirmative action even as the future of the practice remains in doubt. The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on lawsuits challenging admissions systems at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. With a conservative majority on the court, many college leaders are bracing for a decision that could scale back or eliminate the use of race in admissions.

Americans’ views on race in admissions — that it should be permitted but only be a small factor — generally line up with the way colleges say they use it.

Many colleges, especially selective ones, say race is one of many factors that officials can weigh when choosing which students get accepted. They say it is not a large influence but may sometimes give an edge to underrepresented students in close decisions. Colleges defend the practice as a way to bring a wide mix of students to campus, saying racial diversity benefits all students.

Own what you believe.

Night shifts can really mess people up physically and mentally. Unless it’s a hospital or some other type of vital human need, I don’t see any reason to do this to people.

she’s not wrong. Maybe survivor.

Can someone really make up for their past wrongs? Say for instance a teenager that stabbed someone then ended up turning their lives and spent their future doing outrageously good things like feeding the poor. Or a person that slept with many peoples wives/husbands then changed their ways and taught people about sexually abusive behaviors and what to do to avoid that, or someone that was addicted to drugs and beat people up and stole things from strangers then inevitably became sober and joined one of those NA/Aa groups to help others change their ways?

When someone truly changes to become a Better person and doesn’t the majority of their life doing good then bad? even though their bad deeds did a lot of damage and hurt people pretty bad can they still end up being a good person in the end?
