Mayor Bass responds to Supreme Court rejection of affirmative action

LOS ANGELES – Mayor Bass today issued the following statement after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions:

“The Supreme Court’s action today is part of a broader effort to erase the true history of this country and insulate those who have benefited from it. I know our educational institutions here in Los Angeles work to value and defend the absolute necessity of diversity. Our city draws strength from our diversity and we always will.”
