MAA Advocacy Committee Response to SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling

We, the Advocacy Committee of the Medieval Academy of America, denounce the Supreme Court of the United States ruling to strike down affirmative action. The loss of affirmative action is detrimental to both the enrichment of particular disciplines, including medieval studies, as well as the broadest realizations of equity in our communities beyond higher education. We join other institutions and organizations across the country to denounce the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States, and we reaffirm our commitment to supporting greater diversity in our programming, our grant opportunities, and our advocacy.
