Major Thesis Question

2024 Prompt

Is racial diversity on college campuses a national interest? Why or why not?

If yes, what policies would you argue for to increase racial diversity on campuses, while abiding by the most recent Supreme Court decision? For example, are the 10% plan and class based admissions effective strategies to promote diversity and address racial disproportionality on college campuses?
If not, why not, and what would be your legal, political, economic, and/or social argument against it?
