- Title
THE END OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING?
- Authors
RICHMAN, ASHLEE
- Abstract
The article examines the efficacy of race consideration in higher education admissions policies established in the U.S. In the Grutter v. Bollinger case, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor decided to instill a time limit on the need for racial preferrences at 25 years in order to achieve diversity in the education system. Affirmative action policies are designed to ensure diverse student groups in the education system. According to the author, O'Connor's opinion in the Grutter case promoted the importance of student body diversity for supporting educational benefits, helping in the reduction of racial and ethnic stereotypes, and the developing diverse and racially integrated leadership class.
