Fox News: Black enrollment at Harvard Law tanks by more than half after affirmative action ruling
Black student enrollment at Harvard Law has significantly decreased following the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling against race-based admissions. This year, only 19 Black students enrolled, marking the lowest number since the 1960s, down from 43 last year. Harvard officials express commitment to diversity but acknowledge the ruling's chilling effect.
The decline also affected Hispanic enrollment, while white and Asian student numbers increased. Some experts argue that the overall increase in Black law students across all schools suggests no meaningful decline, positing that students may benefit from attending schools better suited to their needs.
