Affirmitive Action

Wed Apr 02, 2003 12:00:00 AM by Travis

Well, the big affirmative action lawsuit is being heard by the supreme court now. Generally, I don't have very strong opinions concerning affirmative action. On the one hand, it seems rather backwards to compensate for discrimination against minorities built into the system by giving those minorities a rather large number of points, thereby discriminating against non-minorities. On the other hand, I don't really see any other way to do it. Ideally, we'd want to modify the admission system so that there is no built-in bias against minorities, thus eliminating the need to put in a bias for minorities. However, I don't see that happening anytime soon, if it's even possible at all.
