The decline in enrolled undergraduate Black students at BU is "concerning and disappointing," President Melissa Gilliam said, emphasizing this issue will be a priority for the university moving forward.
Gilliam added that Boston University plans to set up a task force beyond the admissions team to create pipelines to attract a diverse student body and improve financial aid.
"We understand what the law is, and we will, of course, comply with the law," Gilliam expressed, acknowledging the Supreme Court ruling's impact on admissions policies.
Gilliam stated the court ruling is "deeply concerning" and highlighted that although diversity remains a core value, the university has to find new ways to improve.
