Affirmative Action: Implications for Endowments, Foundations, and the Broader Industry
Novello, Amanda
Commonfund Institute
Affirmative action, a practice used since the 1960s to edge toward equity and address historical and ongoing injustice through higher education attainment, was struck down last month by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). The immediate and longer term direct and indirect impacts of this ruling are vast and, in some cases, murky. In response, we've compiled insights into the potential implications of this ruling to educational institutions, foundations, and across the nonprofit asset management sphere.
