But the Supreme Court in 2023 killed affirmative action in \u003ci\u003eStudents for Fair Admissions v. Harvard\u003c\/i\u003e, a decision hailed by the right as a triumph of conservative colorblindness and decried by the left as requiring the end of racial equity. Both sides, Yale Law School professor Justin Driver contends, are wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerversely, even when viewed through a conservative lens, the Court's decision ushers in a less desirable admissions regime. The post-\u003ci\u003eSFFA\u003c\/i\u003e model places a new premium on students of color voicing their racial trauma in elaborate application essays, entrenching the very racial victimization and essentialism that conservatives purport to loathe. The Trump Administration's assault on higher education has been fueled by distorted readings of \u003ci\u003eSFFA\u003c\/i\u003e, further clouding the opinion's already opaque meaning. But \u003ci\u003eSFFA\u003c\/i\u003e, properly understood, leaves universities significant legal room to combat Trump's anti-D.E.I. onslaught by adopting innovative policies that foster diversity--including preferences for descendants of slavery, members of tribes, and applicants from blighted communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from a mere eulogy, \u003ci\u003eThe Fall of Affirmative Action\u003c\/i\u003e provides a blueprint for the future--a rallying cry for citizens to forge new paths to inclusion and push back against the notion that racial equity is doomed.
