American Institutional Change in Colleges and Universities Admissions:The Origin,Abolition,and Impact of Affirmative Action in the United States Colleges and Universities
The U.S. Affirmative Action Act has had a profound impact on the colleges and universities' admission system and triggered affirmative action in colleges and universities. Nearly half a century after its implementation,the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to repeal affirmative action,which triggered a great deal of attention from the international community. American colleges and universities carry out affirmative action based on national interests,integrating race and other factors in admissions. It has the diversity of the student body as the goal of the action,and the racial factor is used as a plus point for the admission of students. In the process of promotion,the legal discussion and value conflict between anti-discrimination and reverse discrimination,individual equality and group equality,and equal opportunity and equal outcome have been formed. Affirmative action abolition in the United States has produced serious differences. Opponents believe that it violates the concept of fairness,aggravates racial segregation,and affects national security;those in favor of the principle of fairness to comply with the Constitution,dissolve racial inequality,and break the impact of racial stereotypes. In the future,the reform of admissions equity in American colleges and universities will focus on reshaping the concept of fairness value,reconfiguring the pattern of multiple admissions,redeploying the opportunities for educational excellence,and optimizing the development of black colleges and universities.
