A recent PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll found that a majority of Americans (57%) support Affirmative action in higher education and the workplace, despite the Supreme Court's recent decision to prohibit the consideration of race in College Admissions. The poll was conducted before the court's decision, and only 38% of respondents believed affirmative action should be abolished. The article includes the perspectives of various individuals, including those who believe in merit-based admissions and those who see the decision as harmful to minority students. The article also highlights concerns about subconscious biases and preferential admission for legacy students.
