In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Supreme Court last June banned schools from discriminating on the basis of race in admissions. In response to that decision, many left-wing administrators launched what in an earlier era was called “massive resistance.”
For example, University of California-Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and University of Michigan Vice President and General Counsel Timothy Lynch hosted a legal conference that coached universities on how to circumvent the decision.
Just a few days earlier, Chemerinsky was caught on camera explaining how he avoids California’s ban on racial preferences in faculty hiring: “If ever I’m deposed, I’m going to deny I said this to you.”
