Kelly Slay, assistant professor of higher education and public policy, will participate in a virtual panel, “Understanding Race-conscious Admission in Our Past, Our Present and Our Future,” on Thursday, Feb. 2, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. The event is hosted by the Castilleja School.

Former Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal will join Slay on the panel, along with Matthew McGann, dean of admission and financial aid at Amherst College, and Alyson Tom, associate director of college counseling at Castilleja School.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent hearings of two cases challenging race-conscious admissions, the panel will discuss the history and potential future of race-conscious admissions as individuals and institutions prepare for SCOTUS’ ruling this spring.
