Questions for 4/17

For Ace

Is high school education preparing us for college, particularly with regards to poorer areas and states? Why do we feel an obligation to uphold affirmative action even today?

For Lederman

What are the negative effects of affirmative action? Is it unrealistic to impose restrictions on the current policies as the belt straps tighten and admission in general becomes more competitive?

For Lavin

The definition of undergraduate is changing: more and more they are working jobs and supporting themselves for the most part. As the financial burden becomes more strenuous on parents, students are more expected to hold their own. How is this affecting their ability to study?

For Grutter

What could the possible “social implications” of affirmative action be? Looking at the dissenting opinion, in reference to the state of California, is it necessary to for “elitism” to look at all prospects rather than focus on minority numbers?
