Published: July 20, 2023, 4:03 a.m.

b'It\\u2019s time to discuss the Affirmative Action cases from Harvard and the University of North Carolina, and we have brought in an expert on college admissions - Jeff Brenzel, the former Dean of Undergraduate Admissions at Yale.\\xa0 Jeff is so much more than that - he has taught at Yale as a lecturer in philosophy and humanities; is the former head of the Alumni Association, and is a current trustee at Morehouse College, to name some of his many hats.\\xa0 He offers a perspective that is a perfect supplement to the legal analysis from Professor Amar, as we make our way through 237 pages of Supreme Court opinion, concurrences, and fiery dissents, not to mention Akhil\\u2019s scholarship on this subject over the decades.\\xa0 It\\u2019s potentially a morass and we begin to find our way through it, to hopefully understand the stormy present and the uncertain future of college admissions.'
