AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE RESPONSE TO THE SUPREME COURT DECISION ON RACE-CONSCIOUS ADMISSION
As an institution committed to anti-racism and to embracing differences and empowering students who come from diverse backgrounds, Agnes Scott College will continue to move forward with the same values and policies that have shaped and influenced our inclusive community. It has been proven over the course of our 134-year history that diversity among our students paves the way for an environment that prepares students to thrive in their personal, professional and civic lives. Agnes Scott develops dynamic leaders because we seek to admit students who are passionate about engaging the intellectual and social challenges of their times and for whom social and racial justice is not only important, but imperative.
Agnes Scott College remains committed to recruiting and enrolling a diverse group of students who are interested in an Agnes Scott education. Agnes Scott’s admissions policies have always been holistic and focused on the whole student, their academic journey and their personal story. While today’s Supreme Court decision may affect what information students may give us about themselves, we do not believe that the students we recruit or admit will change with this decision.
