Indeed, Justice Clarence Thomas, in a concurrence, said approvingly that “most blacks and Hispanics attending the University were admitted without discrimination under the Top Ten Percent plan”-contrasting a race-neutral method that wasn’t “discrimination” with affirmative action, which he said was. Its opinion didn’t cast any doubt on the lawfulness of the Top Ten Percent policy. The Court sent the case back to the Fifth Circuit to assess whether race-neutral alternatives would suffice for U.T. The white plaintiff in Fisher challenged U.T.’s use of race-conscious affirmative action in selecting the remainder of the undergraduate class. That would produce significant racial diversity on campuses without admissions officers considering applicants’ race. Because de-facto residential segregation resulted in de-facto school segregation in much of the state, admitting the top ten per cent of each high school meant that a large number of Black and Latino students would be admitted to colleges and universities in Texas. University of Texas, discussed a race-neutral admissions method that was enacted by the Texas legislature: the top ten per cent of students in every high school in the state were automatically guaranteed admission to any of the state’s public colleges or universities. We have some legal clues from which to piece together what may happen next. What if schools move, as many surely will, to obey by adopting race-neutral measures-for example, deëmphasizing test scores, or boosting applicants from poorly funded high schools-that are designed to produce racial diversity, trying to create some semblance of what they achieved when using affirmative action? Would those moves be lawful? This will almost certainly be the next big question about admissions, as lawsuits will likely be filed claiming that race-neutral policies devised with diversity outcomes in mind are racially discriminatory. But institutions that have long viewed student-body diversity as essential to their missions will not change that belief simply because of the Court’s ruling, nor could the Court purport to mandate such a shift in values. If the result of a condition is false, the action will stop there so any service calls after that condition will not be executed.What happens after the Supreme Court ends affirmative action, as is anticipated this week? Colleges and universities will have to admit students using only methods that are “race-neutral,” and will not be allowed to consciously consider any applicant’s race. You can combine multiple service calls and conditions in a single action, and they will be processed in the order you put them in. trigger : - platform : sun event : sunset action : - service : light.turn_on target : entity_id : - light.kitchen - light.living_room data : brightness : 150 rgb_color : automation 2 : # Notify me on my mobile phone of an event trigger : - platform : sun event : sunset offset : -00:30 variables : notification_service : notify.paulus_iphone action : # Actions are scripts so can also be a list of actions - service : " " data : message : " Beautiful sunset!" - delay : 0:35 - service : notify.notify data : message : " Oh wow you really missed something great."Ĭonditions can also be part of an action.
