“With kindness and respect, we will continue to encourage and support a diverse student body across all our campuses,” Diacon said.
Universities in Ohio have released statements indicating that they will continue to encourage and support diversity in their student bodies after the Supreme Court ruled that race cannot be a factor in college admissions.
RELATED STORY: Kent State University President Todd Diacon sent a statement to the community stating that their commitment to providing"opportunities of a students-first education at Kent State is unwavering." Baldwin Wallace University officials said they have a leadership team reviewing how the institution will adapt to the changes in the best way to serve their students.
"In essence - we admit students who demonstrate their potential to be successful at our university and do not measure success using a racial metric in that assessment," Miller said. The Ohio State University Director, Media and PR Chris Booker said the university is reviewing the decision and"evaluating impacts." Booker said Ohio State will make any necessary changes to continue to follow state and federal laws regarding admissions and any updates will be shared with the University community and posted on their website.
