Nearly three in four Americans disagree with using race in college admissions, although even more value racial diversity on campuses, according to a new WGBH News poll.
WGBH News commissioned Abt Associates to ask 1,002 adults across the country whether they agree or disagree with the Supreme Court’s rulings that colleges can consider race in their admissions decisions. The poll found 72 percent disagreed, including a majority of black, Asian and Hispanic people who responded to the telephone survey, which was conducted Aug. 21-25 and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
