Professor Emily Gold Waldman
Episode: The Future of Affirmative Action
In this episode, I speak with Professor Emily Gold Waldman about the Affirmative Action cases before the Supreme Court this term. Students for Fair Action, an anti-affirmative action group, sued Harvard and the University of North Carolina arguing that the Universities discriminated against white and Asian applicants by giving preference to Black, Hispanic and Native American Students. Professor Waldman reviews the oral arguments, held in November 2022 and makes predictions on the Court’s decision.
