2024 Health Law Conference: The Future of Health Equity After the End of Affirmative Action

At the end of its last term, the Supreme Court upended established equal protection law with its decision in SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC, effectively eliminating the use of affirmative action in college admissions. This conference focused on how the Court’s decision may have profound and troubling implications for health equity.

Dr. Michelle A. Williams, renowned epidemiologist, academic leader and award-winning educator on the faculty of the Harvard Chan School, delivered the keynote address.
