My home state voted to outlaw affirmative action through a ballot initiative started by Ward Connerly. It bans the consideration of race, among other things, in college admissions decisions.
Although I think Mr. Connerly makes some good points about the problems associated with judging people by their race, this decision worries me. I wonder how it will affect our ability to recruit talented people--students of course, but also faculty and staff--who are underrepresented in our programs.
