MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — The hallways of Bacone College are cold and dark. In the college’s historic buildings, there are leaks to plug, mold to purge and priceless works of Native American art to save from ruin. Founded in 1880 as a Baptist missionary college focused on assimilation, Bacone College transformed into an Indigenous-led institution that provided an intertribal community, as well as a degree. Across the country, there are only a few dozen tribal colleges, according to the American Indian College Fund, a nonprofit that supports Native American access to higher education. Tribal colleges must be sponsored by a federally recognized tribe and have a majority Native student enrollment.

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday to end race-based affirmative action in college admissions. The Obamas each released a statement reflecting on the role affirmative action has played. Barack Obama wrote that it had allowed students like him and Michelle "to prove we belonged." "Like any policy, affirmative action wasn't perfect," Barack Obama, who attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School, wrote. But still, I sometimes wondered if people thought I got there because of affirmative action.
