Download or read book Race, Class, and Affirmative Action written by Sigal Alon and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No issue in American higher education is more contentious than that of race-based affirmative action. In light of the ongoing debate around the topic and recent Supreme Court rulings, affirmative action policy may be facing further changes. As an alternative to race-based affirmative action, some analysts suggest affirmative action policies based on class. In Race, Class, and Affirmative Action, sociologist Sigal Alon studies the race-based affirmative action policies in the United States. and the class-based affirmative action policies in Israel. Alon evaluates how these different policies foster campus diversity and socioeconomic mobility by comparing the Israeli policy with a simulated model of race-based affirmative action and the U.S. policy with a simulated model of class-based affirmative action. Alon finds that affirmative action at elite institutions in both countries is a key vehicle of mobility for disenfranchised students, whether they are racial and ethnic minorities or socioeconomically disadvantaged. Affirmative action improves their academic success and graduation rates and leads to better labor market outcomes. The beneficiaries of affirmative action in both countries thrive at elite colleges and in selective fields of study. As Alon demonstrates, they would not be better off attending less selective colleges instead. Alon finds that Israel’s class-based affirmative action programs have provided much-needed entry slots at the elite universities to students from the geographic periphery, from high-poverty high schools, and from poor families. However, this approach has not generated as much ethnic diversity as a race-based policy would. By contrast, affirmative action policies in the United States have fostered racial and ethnic diversity at a level that cannot be matched with class-based policies. Yet, class-based policies would do a better job at boosting the socioeconomic diversity at these bastions of privilege. The findings from both countries suggest that neither race-based nor class-based models by themselves can generate broad diversity. According to Alon, the best route for promoting both racial and socioeconomic diversity is to embed the consideration of race within class-based affirmative action. Such a hybrid model would maximize the mobility benefits for both socioeconomically disadvantaged and minority students. Race, Class, and Affirmative Action moves past political talking points to offer an innovative, evidence-based perspective on the merits and feasibility of different designs of affirmative action.

Book Synopsis Psychological Perspective on Affirmative Action by : Dennis Doverspike
Download or read book Psychological Perspective on Affirmative Action written by Dennis Doverspike and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does psychology have to do with affirmative action? In the author's opinion, questioning the relevance of psychology to an issue such as affirmative action is, unfortunately, not an uncommon query, even among many people within the field of psychology. When most people, both within and outside the field, make an association between psychology and affirmative action, it is in terms of the debate over racial differences in performance on intelligence tests. Thus, the decision to write this book was based upon what was seen as a need to demonstrate and highlight the substantive contribution that psychology can make in terms of improving our understanding of why it is that people respond to affirmative action with a variety of reactions and emotions. The primary goal of this book is to discuss empirical research and theoretical work on affirmative action from a psychological perspective. The intended audience is academics, including undergraduate and graduate students, and social science researchers.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this project was to develop a manual to support consistency in Rochester Institute of Technology's programs for affirmative action. The manual's purpose is to increase understanding and awareness of affirmative action in higher education, most particularly for the admission of students and the hiring of faculty and staff, and to provide a framework for developing, implementing, and assessing affirmative action programs. Six research questions served to guide this project. The questions were inquiry regarding the necessary elements found in successful affirmative action programs, the complexities of designing affirmative action programs, organizational implications resulting from problematic affirmative action programs, the outcomes of an evaluation study of one university's hiring and admission programs, the essential elements for an effective review process for affirmative action programs, and creating appropriate and valid criteria for developing an affirmative action manual. Three problem-solving methodologies were used for this project. A developmental research methodology was chosen to create 3 key elements of the study: (a) valid criteria, (b) an assessment tool and implementation strategy, and (c) an affirmative action manual. An evaluative research methodology was chosen to assess outcomes of pre-established objectives to determine if objectives were met. A nonexperimental research design was chosen for investigating existing data specifically to explore plausible causal factors that had already occurred within practices of the affirmative action programs. Several important conclusions and implications were made. First, it was concluded that an appropriate affirmative action program targets 3 legal standards that must be incorporated in order to pass strict legal scrutiny. Without these variables, it is implied that legal challenges will arise. Second, it was concluded that the debate between opponents and proponents of affirmative action will continue based on complexities regarding the principle of merit versus the principle of disparate impact. In addition, it was concluded that all public, and, to a lesser degree, private sectors must align with federal mandates when designing affirmative action programs. It was also concluded that a detailed periodic review is necessary to determine whether there is a need to continue a race-conscious affirmative action program. This implies that there is a strong indication that affirmative action programs will have an expected end. Finally, it was concluded that an appropriate and valid resource manual supports better awareness and understanding of legal implications when creating affirmative action programs"--Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich, multifaceted history of affirmative action from the Civil Rights Act of 1866 through today’s tumultuous times From acclaimed legal historian, author of a biography of Louis Brandeis (“Remarkable” —Anthony Lewis, The New York Review of Books, “Definitive”—Jeffrey Rosen, The New Republic) and Dissent and the Supreme Court (“Riveting”—Dahlia Lithwick, The New York Times Book Review), a history of affirmative action from its beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to the first use of the term in 1935 with the enactment of the National Labor Relations Act (the Wagner Act) to 1961 and John F. Kennedy’s Executive Order 10925, mandating that federal contractors take “affirmative action” to ensure that there be no discrimination by “race, creed, color, or national origin” down to today’s American society. Melvin Urofsky explores affirmative action in relation to sex, gender, and education and shows that nearly every public university in the country has at one time or another instituted some form of affirmative action plan--some successful, others not. Urofsky traces the evolution of affirmative action through labor and the struggle for racial equality, writing of World War I and the exodus that began when some six million African Americans moved northward between 1910 and 1960, one of the greatest internal migrations in the country’s history. He describes how Harry Truman, after becoming president in 1945, fought for Roosevelt’s Fair Employment Practice Act and, surprising everyone, appointed a distinguished panel to serve as the President’s Commission on Civil Rights, as well as appointing the first black judge on a federal appeals court in 1948 and, by executive order later that year, ordering full racial integration in the armed forces. In this important, ambitious, far-reaching book, Urofsky writes about the affirmative action cases decided by the Supreme Court: cases that either upheld or struck down particular plans that affected both governmental and private entities. We come to fully understand the societal impact of affirmative action: how and why it has helped, and inflamed, people of all walks of life; how it has evolved; and how, and why, it is still needed.
