But just minutes before it was set to take effect, a federal judge blocked the order, putting the freeze on hold until at least next Monday. In this episode recorded Jan. 28, Jon Fansmith, Sarah Spreitzer, and Mushtaq Gunja provide important context on the rapidly evolving situation. Jon and Sarah are later joined by ACE President Ted Mitchell for a deeper conversation on what we know, what’s at stake, and what could come next for colleges, universities, and students nationwide.

In this webinar, we will explore the ongoi​​ng relevance of diversity in higher education and how institutions are adapting their admissions processes in the absence of affirmative action. The webinar will kick off with a presentation from the American Council on Education (ACE), which will offer an overview of the educational pathways of U.S. students by race and ethnicity, based on data from ACE’s latest Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education report and other relevant sources. This will set the stage for a deeper conversation with experts and peers on the impact of the ​ SFFA v. Harvard ruling.
