Brooklyn Law School Dean stands firm on diversity following affirmative action ruling
In response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision restricting the use of affirmative action in college admissions, incoming President Joseph Crea and Dean David Meyer of Brooklyn Law School have sent a powerful message to the academic community reaffirming the school’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The court’s ruling, which was passed 6-3 against affirmative action policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has led to heated discussions nationwide about the role of diversity in American higher education.
In a letter to the Brooklyn Law School (BLS) community, Dean Meyer emphasized the school’s unwavering commitment to diversity, stating, “I write to reaffirm Brooklyn Law School’s unwavering commitment to ensuring a diverse and vibrant educational community fully consistent with all legal requirements, including those of the Constitution.”
