Washington: <\/b><\/p>\n
President Joe Biden on Thursday said he “strongly” disagreed with the US Supreme Court’s ruling banning the use of race and ethnicity in university admission policies, which came as a major blow to a decades-old practice that boosted educational opportunities for African-Americans and other minorities.<\/p>\n
The ruling “walked away from decades of precedent,” he said, adding universities “should not abandon their commitment” to create diverse student bodies.<\/p>\n
“Discrimination still exists in America,” said Biden. “Today’s decision does not change that. It’s a simple fact that if a student has had to overcome adversity on their path to education, colleges should recognize and value that.”<\/p>\n
“I believe our colleges are stronger when they are racially diverse… We cannot let this decision be the last word.”<\/p>\n
Asked by reporters if Thursday’s decision by the conservative-dominated panel — which also voted last year to overturn a nationwide right to abortion — showed it was a rogue court, Biden took a lengthy pause before finally saying that “this is not a normal court.<\/p>\n
One year after overturning the guarantee of a woman’s right to have an abortion, the court’s conservative majority again demonstrated its readiness to scrap liberal policies set in law since the 1960s.<\/p>\n
The justices broke six to three along conservative-liberal lines in the decision, which came after years of ring-wing antipathy to “affirmative action” programs that have sought diversity in school admissions and business and government hiring.<\/p>\n
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that while affirmative action was “well-intentioned and implemented in good faith,” it cannot last forever, and amounted to unconstitutional discrimination against others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
