Mrvan Statement on Supreme Court Affirmative Action Decision

Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Frank J. Mrvan released the following statement on today’s Supreme Court affirmative action decision. 

“The precedent of affirmative action has allowed our nation to create a thriving workforce and be a leader in the global economy, and I have no doubt that this decision will negatively impact our economic competitiveness.  Indiana’s First Congressional District is home to an incredible community of talent and diversity, and I am grateful that our region’s institutions of higher education have been leaders in uplifting all students, including those from historically marginalized backgrounds, who wish to better themselves through education.  Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is yet another reflection of the very real consequences of our elections, and as a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, I will continue to work to remedy this situation and promote educational opportunities for everyone.”
