The oral arguments in Students For Fair Admissions’ challenges to the use of racial preferences by the admissions offices of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina take place next Monday. This coming Friday evening—three days before the oral arguments—I’ll be at Princeton University to speak on the topic “Are Racial Preferences in College Admissions Lawful?” I’ll discuss the Harvard and UNC cases and provide some guidance on what to look for in the oral arguments.
The event (at 6 p.m. in McCosh 4) is co-sponsored by Princeton’s Federalist Society chapter (yes, the Federalist Society has some undergrad chapters) and the Princeton Open Campus Coalition. I’m grateful that Princeton philosophy professor Thomas Kelly will also take part.
