Harvard<\/em>, the Manhattan Institute reported on Thursday. The associations, writes researcher Renu Mukherjee, are advising schools to use methods that appear to be race-neutral, but are meant to still select for race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cLaw schools, for instance, are advised to continue granting admissions preferences to black and Hispanic applicants using methods that are race-neutral in theory but race-conscious in practice,\u201d Mukherjee wrote. \u201cMeanwhile, law firms are advised to simply continue their use of affirmative action; the bar associations suggest that because <em>Students for Fair Admissions<\/em> considered this policy only within the context of university admissions, the decision is inapplicable to employment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the wake of the SCOTUS decision, the NYSBA recommended that universities evaluate race through means of \u201ca non-racial goal or value being pursued by the university,\u201d as well as to document race for \u201cresearch and evaluation purposes,\u201d the report found. <\/span>It also recommended using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-economic-council-deletes-unpaid-internship-post-following-dcnf-report\/\" title=\"White House Economic Council Deletes Unpaid Internship Post Following DCNF Report\">low socioeconomic status<\/a>, first-generation immigrant status, geographic location, or some kind of percentage plan as other admission factors.<\/p>\n<p>Schools are also encouraged to end early admission policies to align with\u00a0\u201cbroader institutional diversity and equity goals\u201d as well as consider removing standardized testing measures like the LSAT from admission considerations. These recommendations came from a 93-page report produced by the NYSBA Task Force on Advancing Diversity released after the SCOTUS decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-poised-to-overturn-affirmative-action-precedents-key-activists-forecast\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Poised To Overturn Affirmative Action Precedents, Key Activists Forecast\">overturn affirmative action<\/a> for admission into schools.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that there were some race-neutral pipeline programs been developed and supported by the bar associations to help those from low and middle-income families get into the legal profession with tutoring, standardized test preparation, and mentoring.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>When asked if some pipeline programs might not be available for use by a group like white males, <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mukherjee told The Daily Wire that if they did take race into account they \u201cwould be illegal and thus face challenge.\u201d She added that the programs should be \u201copen to ALL students, not just blacks and Hispanics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cRace-based scholarships and corporate diversity fellowships are merely affirmative action by another name,\u201d the report said. \u201cThey suggest that individuals should be accepted by law schools or be hired in Big Law on account of skin color, as opposed to merit.
