Though Queens did not factor race into admissions decisions, the ruling prompted them to acknowledge potential legal risks of considering race in any context.
The ruling has impacted not just colleges but also programs diversifying companies and government contractors, signaling a broader societal shift towards race neutrality.
While highly selective universities like Harvard have seen significant changes, schools like Queens, admitting a larger pool, feel a subtle emotional shift towards race neutrality.
Adrienne Oddi noted a shift in approach, now avoiding race discussions even if mentioned by applicants, showcasing adjustments to adhere to the colorblind vision presented by the court.
