Guide Advises Officials on Responding to Upcoming Texas Affirmative Action Decision - Higher Education

Guide Advises Officials on Responding to Upcoming Texas Affirmative Action Decision - Higher Education: In making sure college and university officials are prepared for what the U.S. Supreme Court decides in the Fisher v. University of Texas affirmative action case, the Access & Diversity Collaborative has published a web-based policy and communications guide, titled “Preparing for the Fisher Decision: Are You Ready?”

The ADC, which is managed by the College Board’s Higher Education Advocacy division and the EducationalCounsel LLC organization, developed the document, which “frames possible outcomes and likely responses and the ADC’s plans for post-decision communications.” A decision in the Fisher case is expected by the end of the Supreme Court’s 2012-13 term, which will be late June or early July.
