Seeking to clarify what he believes are misinterpretations of affirmative action, he said:"Many people wrongly believe that affirmative action allows unqualified students to be admitted ahead of qualified students."And every student, every student, has to meet those standards, then and only then, after first meeting the qualifications required by the school, do colleges look at other factors, in addition to their grades, such as race.
President Biden pointed to research from the National Bureau for Economic Research carried out in 2017 which concluded that a student from the top 1% of family income in America is 77 times more likely to get into an elite Ivy League college than one from the bottom 20% of family income.Activists in favour of affirmative action.

In a statement, Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for Make America Great Again Inc, said:"President Donald Trump made today's historic decision to end the racist college admissions process possible because he delivered on his promise to appoint constitutionalist justices. "America is a better nation as a result of the historic rulings led by Donald Trump's three Supreme Court nominees."
