Paper Summary:
This paper discusses affirmative action policy and its evolution from its beginnings in the 1960s to today.

Most universities had actually stopped practicing overt racial discrimination prior to passage of the CRA. The landmark Brown v Board of Education case outlawed racial discrimination in public..."More papers on Affirmative Action:
