coleman junior. he s host of the charles coleman podcast. also with us, harvard law school professor, jeanne she s also contributing writer at the new yorker. welcome to you both. jeanne, i want to start with you. the president of howard university, one of the nation s top hbcus, spoke to my colleague katie fang earlier. here s what he said. we sent african americans to medical school than anyone else. and we also sent more african americans from those programs we send them in the past two decades in stanford, m.i.t., harvard and yale. those schools combined, 160 million. getting more applications as not necessarily desirable if we don t have the funding to take most of this. that lawyer, and as someone who works at a very school that prompted this case, what are your thoughts on this ruling? well, i disagree with it.
