President Biden’s recent comments during an MSNBC interview have sparked debate over the Supreme Court’s ruling on college admissions. The court condemned Harvard and the University of North Carolina for racially discriminatory practices. While Biden acknowledged the rulings’ implications, his refusal to challenge the court’s authority raised questions about his commitment to justice. His proposal that universities consider adversity faced by diverse applicants undermines the merit-based system that forms the backbone of American higher education. Furthermore, Biden’s stance encourages universities to ‘work around’ the Supreme Court ruling, prompting concerns about his respect for our Constitution. Ultimately, Biden’s comments could trigger a constitutional crisis, eroding public trust in the court’s decisions.
