On June 29, 2023, Yale's President issued a statement in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on race conscious admissions which reads in part as follows: "A whole-person admission review process that takes into account every aspect of an applicant’s background and experiences has enabled colleges and universities to admit the classes they need to realize their missions. Restricting this ability limits universities in opening their doors to students with the widest possible range of experiences. This is a detriment to everyone who benefits from the diversity of our campuses...Despite my strong disagreement with the Court’s decisions, I am committed to the rule of law. In the coming months, deans of admissions and other university leaders will review Yale’s admissions policies to ensure that Yale...[complies] with the law as interpreted by the Supreme Court."

As white parents, we have an obligation to put in this work.”
