Aprašymas

The highly anticipated U.S. Supreme Court decision in "Fisher v. University of Texas" placed a greater onus on higher education institutions to provide evidence supporting the need for affirmative action policies on their respective campuses. It is now more critical than ever that institutional leaders and scholars understand the evidence in support of race consideration in admissions as well as the challenges of the post-"Fisher "landscape.

This important volume shares information documented for the "Fisher" case and provides empirical evidence to help inform scholarly conversation and institutions' decisions regarding race-conscious practices in higher education. With contributions from scholars and experts involved in the "Fisher" case, this edited volume documents and shares lessons learned from the collaborative efforts of the social science, educational, and legal communities. "Affirmative Action and Racial Equity" is a critical resource for higher education scholars and administrators to understand the nuances of the affirmative action legal debate and to identify the challenges and potential strategies toward racial equity and inclusion moving forward.
