What we know and don’t know about the future of college admissions.
At the end of June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that colleges can’t consider a person’s race in the admissions process.
The decision struck down what we know as affirmative action, which has expanded educational access to people of color since the 1960s.
While the court decided that affirmative action goes against everyone’s Constitutional right to equal treatment regardless of race, higher education journalist Jeff Selingo said the court might not understand the full scope of how colleges select individual students to form their ideal student body.

The Great Resignation is Over
Tens of millions of Americans changed jobs over the past two years, a rare moment of worker power as employees demanded higher pay, and as employers, short on staff, often gave it to them.
The tidal wave of quitting became known as the “great resignation.”
Now, as the phenomenon seems to have fizzled out, the Times economic writer Ben Casselman discusses whether there have been any lasting benefits for American workers.
