Hartford, CT – On June 29, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina, prohibiting the consideration of race in college admissions:

“Today’s Supreme Court decision to roll back affirmative action will negatively impact our nation’s efforts for equality,” said Larson. “All students deserve a fair shot at a quality education, regardless of their income, where they grew up, or their racial and ethnic background. Racial discrimination is not an issue of the past, and I remain committed to ensuring equal opportunity in higher education for all students.”
