"Affirmative Action Is Probably Dead: Now What?"

This is, IMO, and important article. Why? Because it makes an important attitude of the academic left clear: it will never concede on affirmative action and similar programs, no matter what the courts say, no matter what legislatures say, and no matter what the people say. Any effort to weaken their efforts to implement their identity-politics worldview will be skirted. They control universities, and they will never give in.

   Recall that this is how we got "diversity" and "DEI" ideology: Powell's suggestion in Bakke that "diversity" could be used to get around the democratic rejection of affirmative action. They're already putting out the call for "creative" ways around a legal ruling by SCOTUS.
