Affirmative Action
For today, finish reading the affirmative action packet from class then, check this article from today's San Francisco Chronicle. When finished, write a post that describes your opinions on affirmative action in university admission policies. Make sure you consider Tim Wise's "Whites Swim in Racial Preference" response to the University of Michigan's policy as well as the other materials from the packet. Ultimately, should race be a factor in college admissions? Be sure to use specifics from the materials given to support your point of view. This will be a graded post.
