Statement on Supreme Court Ruling

June 29, 2023

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff: 

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in the cases of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina, et al., regarding higher education admissions practices. 

The University of South Carolina remains steadfast in its continuing commitment to compliance with the law and to a campus environment that supports and respects individuals with a variety of life experiences, including first-generation students, active-duty military and veterans, students with disabilities, and those from underrepresented backgrounds.

We will continue to welcome qualified students who contribute to our diverse university learning environment and embrace a student body that reflects the people and communities that make up our state and our nation.

Michael D. Amiridis
President
