Ethnicity/Race Suppressed in Slate

An applicant’s ethnicity and race has now been suppressed in the Slate Reader, dashboard views and reports.  

As a reminder, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that race cannot be used as a factor in making any graduate admissions decision. However, an applicant’s statement of purpose, resume, recommendations or other information, if it happens to reveal the applicant’s race/ethnicity, can still be considered in the context of an applicant’s experience. Please communicate this change to all your faculty reviewers. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me (JohnnaWatson@charlotte.edu) or Sarah Edwards in Legal Affairs (Sarah.Edwards@charlotte.edu).
