Marsico in a conversation with David Hinojosa, Director of the Educational Opportunities Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. 

The discussion will focus on how the trajectory of affirmative action has been impacted by the recent Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v.

The speakers will consider the future of diversity initiatives and whether they help meet the goal of equity in higher education.
