Title: Standing Our Ground: A Guidebook for STEM Educators in the Post-Michigan Era PDF
Url: https://www.aaas.org/resources/standing-our-ground-guidebook-stem-educ...
Publisher: American Association for the Advancement of Science
Description: More than one year after the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the value of diverse learning environments but struck down formulaic or points-based approaches to undergraduate admissions, this new report will clarify legally defensible options for protecting diversity in science and engineering programs.



Emerging from a recent invitation-only think-tank sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Standing Our Ground provides legal guidance on two Michigan rulings that affirmed the importance of a diverse learning environment, but struck down the use of race as a quantitative "plus factor" in undergraduate admissions decisions. The mixed Grutter and Gratz messages, issued in June 2003, triggered confusion among academic, non-profit, and federal institutions seeking to extend the benefits of education to all.



Standing Our Ground also features a "legal primer" to help guide university counsels in interpreting the Grutter and Gratz rulings. It also describes eight "design principles" that may serve as a checklist.
