SFFA v. UNC and Harvard
Hey all! I am presenting at a couple regional college admissions conferences, hopefully at the national conference in the fall. My topic is, yep, the SFFA cases. My particular angle is how this case might reach down into high school counseling offices. I’m the guy who is a JD/EdD that never stopped teaching in a high school classroom–until two years ago when I finally resigned, and my wife and I started a firm that works with public high schools to create programming and PD on college admissions.
I listened to oral argument, read all the briefs and cases, and I thought……wow, they *really* talked a lot about the appropriate content for a college essay! Then there was a moment where Gorusch was going on about how much he hates “checkboxes” that ask for race and gender, and Justice Jackson said something like, “You know, the college doesn’t ask you to do that.” And I thought, ok, wow, they are going to completely upend how kids complete their application materials and they don’t have any idea what the Common App is, and they don’t know that there are, you know, *prompts* and that you don’t just write “the college essay.”
I’m not completely done with my presentation, but I was wondering if any of you were also working in this space?
