[BidenPresident]

The US education secretary is a critic of the supreme court’s elimination of affirmative action but maintains the recent decision created an opening to “go further” with other measures aimed at diversifying campuses, including by axing legacy and donor-based admissions.

Education Secretary Cardona speaks on legacy admissions, affirmative action decision

“Legacy admissions is one of those things too that a lot of campuses are looking at saying, ‘If I can’t use race as a factor to diversify my campus and why am I allowed to use something like, you know, a person’s last name?'” Cardona said in a interview with the Herald Saturday ahead of his remarks at the NAACP National Convention in Boston. “So it’s an opportunity for us to come together and exceed the outcomes that were available during affirmative action.”
