"Diversity brings value to the places and spaces where we learn and work, and that
belief is unquestioned at Ë«Ó®ÓéÀÖ³Ç. This ruling not only impacts students¡¯
sense of belonging in higher education, it also detracts from their potential growth
and professional success. For the 79% of Ë«Ó®ÓéÀÖ³Ç students who identify
as people of color, this ruling has the power to create another systemic barrier that
potentially limits some of their opportunities in transfer to four-year institutions.
Ë«Ó®ÓéÀÖ³Ç continues, as an open access institution, to welcome all people
who want to pursue education and opportunity. We encourage other institutions to do
the same.¡±
