Should Race Be a Factor in College Admissions?
Season 3 Episode 4 | 5m 17sVideo has Closed Captions
Affirmative action is back in the news, should it factor in College Admissions?
The debate over whether universities should consider an applicant’s race when deciding who gets in is back in the news. Harvard is being sued for that very reason-- the plaintiffs essentially argue that Harvard’s affirmative action policies discriminate against Asian Americans in an effort to limit their numbers in order to ensure a racial diverse campus. Is Affirmative Action still necessary?
