Episode: Affirmative Action: A Distraction From The Real Problem
Description: Affirmative action is being reconsidered yet again by the Supreme Court in the cases of Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. Brad Yates explains how Harvard is certainly engaging in racial balancing, poses the conflict between affirmative action and an educational meritocracy, and illuminates the source of the real problem that affirmative action fails to rectify.
