PROVIDENCE, RI – Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos issued the following statement in response to today's Supreme Court ruling against the use of affirmative action in college admissions:
“This decision is a blow to every student of color striving for an opportunity and sets back efforts to address generations of inequality.
Justices Sotomayor and Jackson's well-written dissents decrying the backward logic of this decision are a reminder of why we need women of color in every place where decisions are made—starting with our schools."
