A private New York college added an essay prompt to its website asking applicants to describe how the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action will impact their college education goals.

The essay prompt, one of three options listed for first-year applicants on Sarah Lawrence College’s website, asks students to describe how their college education goals “might be impacted, influenced, or affected by the Court’s decision.” The Supreme Court struck down universities’ use of racial preferences in the admissions process late June, finding such programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
