Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz speaks to the press outside the U.S. Supreme Court after justices heard oral arguments on whether colleges and universities can continue to consider race as a factor in admissions decisions, Oct. 31, 2022. “Today was about the value of diversity, a fundamental value that is core to our mission at Carolina,” he said. “This is about bringing and building a class every year of students at Carolina that will go on to become the civic leaders that we are going to count on to protect that democracy that has been threatened at times.” Photo: Francis Chung/E&E News/POLITICO via AP Images
