Event Description

Affirmative action has become a politically charged public policy, with repercussions affecting attitudes and opportunities across cultural, racial, and economic boundaries. Henry Der and Dinesh D'Souza represent two very different perspectives as they consider the intent, the reality, and the future of affirmative action.

This presentation is part of the University-wide Asian American Awareness Month.
