AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND HIGHT (or low) COURT

PEOPLE OF COLOR SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS Steve Nelson has been Head of the Calhoun School in Manhattan since 1998. Affirmative Action Headed for the Dustbin of History Posted: 10/17/2012 6:48 pm If Grutter v. Bollinger is overturned, which seems likely given the current composition of the Court and the tenor of the arguments on Wednesday, once again folks of color will be in a position of structural disadvantage in America. It won't be news to them, as institutional racism was never eradicated and is freshly pungent in the mythological post-racism era in America. In many folks' minds, the question is whether there is, or ever was, an obligation to redress the legacy of segregation and racism by providing an affirmative opportunity to students of color in the admission process. The answer is unambiguously "yes," and the obligation persists despite several decades of slow progress (and a decade or two of backsliding). https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/adolphusaward
