CGS has joined with a broad coalition of higher education groups to file an Amici Curiae or “friend of the court” brief in an affirmative action case to be heard before the U.S. Supreme Court on October 15th. The case, Schuette v. Coalition, involves a challenge to a constitutional amendment in the state of Michigan that prohibits public institutions of higher education in the state from using race or gender in admissions decisions. Through its inclusion in the brief, CGS is supporting the ability of universities to use student body diversity as a goal in admissions. A decision is expected to be issued by June 2014.
As the national advocate for graduate education, CGS serves as a resource for policymakers and others on issues concerning graduate education, research, and scholarship. Based in Washington, DC, the organization provides its members with regular updates and analyses of legislative and regulatory proposals and policies that affect graduate education.
