BOSTON — The phrase “affirmative action” rippled around conversations at the Harvard campus Thursday afternoon, as students took in the significant implications of the Supreme Court’s ruling against their school.
“We’re all just genuinely sad because there’s certain college experience that we’ve all benefited from — the incredible diversity of thought, of people has completely changed my life, my friendships, the way I learn,” said Muskaan Arshad, a Harvard senior and intern with the Coalition for a Diverse Harvard.
Arshad noted that the Class of 2028 is “probably gonna look very different than the college experience that we’ve had in the last two years.”
