In July of 2023, SWE joined over 45 STEM-focused societies to decry the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling that overturned Affirmative Action (the case is formally known as Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. (SFAI) v. President and Fellows of Harvard and SFAI v. University of North Carolina).
This statement was organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and readily joined by a wide range of organizations advocating within the STEM space and/or directly increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM.

SWE’s core work seeks to empower access for underrepresented groups to various STEM educational opportunities through scholarships, career opportunities, and partnership with other similarly oriented organizations.
