Sarah Lawrence College is inviting undergrad applicants to write about how the Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action is impacting their lives.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to consider race in college applications.
But Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that students can still, in essays, write about how race has affected their lives.
An exterior view of Sarah Lawrence College is seen on February 12, 2020 in Bronxville, New York.
The Supreme Court's decision led by the conservative justices found that affirmative action policies, which allowed schools to account for a student's race in order to accept more diverse applicants, were discriminatory.
