Below is his direct quote-
"A more diverse and inclusive campus environment leads to better, more holistic educational experiences for all students, and ultimately for our nation," said Rep. Mike Honda, Chair Emeritus of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. "As a former educator, I wholeheartedly believe that when a student's race is considered, it must be done in a careful and thoughtful way. While we've come a long way in this country, we still have a ways to go and more work to do. Our businesses and industries - all facets of our society - rely on our higher education system to provide the pipeline of talent we need to compete globally. I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to solidly reaffirm the core principles in Grutter. This is welcome news, as leveling the playing field ensures equitable and fair opportunities for Asian American and Pacific Islanders, and all Americans."
