The U.S. Supreme Court made a decision earlier this year that basically ended race-conscious admission programs at institutions of higher learning. U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, a longtime critic of affirmative action programs, said that the nation's colleges and universities must use colorblind criteria in admissions.
This decision raised concerns for some institutions, including Historical Black Colleges. George Wright is currently a senior advisor to the President of the University of Kentucky. He used to be the president of the HBCU Prairie View A&M University in Texas. He said moves like this can cause major problems for potential students.
