Charting the Future of College Affirmative Action: Legal Victories, Continuing Attacks, and New Research

Here is a report on Affirmative Action done by the Civil Rights Project at UCLA that is worth looking at.


"The right of universities to take race-conscious action to diversify their student bodies rested for a quarter century on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in the 1978 Bakke case, which left almost no one satisfied and many conservatives convinced that an increasingly conservative Supreme Court would outlaw affirmative action. After a huge national mobilization over two crucial cases against the University of Michigan which were decided in 2003, Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger, it seemed likely that the surprisingly positive decision from the Court’s majority in Grutter would set a relatively clear path for the next quarter century. . . . "
