FREE SPEECH 49: Race, Admissions, and Achievement, with OiYan Poon




Think About It show

Summary: What's the link between race, admissions, and achievement in today's higher education? Is is easier for some groups to get into college thanks to affirmative action, and harder for others? The lawsuits against affirmative action involving Harvard, UNC, and other schools all claim that affirmative action is unfair, unjust and, it would be hard to miss, un-American. Professor Poon studies higher education and analyzes policies in light of hard data, not myths and misperceptions.
