Vanderbilt University joined 12 universities in filing an amicus brief Nov. 2 with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the continued consideration of race as one factor used in their admissions decisions. “At Vanderbilt we believe that an inclusive, intellectually stimulating environment with remarkably talented students from diverse backgrounds living and learning together enhances everyone’s experience and capacity for expanding their knowledge and understanding of one another,” Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos said. The court will hear arguments in the case, Fisher v. University of Texas, on Dec. 9.
