Despite the fact that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits racial discrimination by schools that receive federal funding, racial preferences are being applied in admissions at many colleges and universities for the purpose of enhancing diversity. More recently, in light of this renewed emphasis on and interest in student diversity, the application of racial preferences in student admissions in higher education is having a trickle-down effect in admissions at prestigious magnet, charter and private secondary schools as well, many of which are discarding merit and test-based admissions policies in the name of diversity. However, the United States Supreme Court is currently considering whether to hear a case relating to Harvard University’s affirmative action policies which require the consideration of race in student admissions.This panel discussed the effects of racial preferences in higher education and also considered whether the Supreme Court will review the legal challenge to Harvard University’s admission policies, analyzed the merits of various legal arguments in the Harvard case, and predicted how the conservative leaning Supreme Court may potentially rule.Featuring:Cory Liu, Partner, Ashcroft Law Firm, and former assistant general counsel to Texas Governor Greg AbbottTheodore Shaw, Julius L.

Advocates of limited government are sometimes accused of being blind to issues of race and sex. Here's one way in which that might be true: Over the last few decades our legal system has been increasingly shaped by identity politics. Legislation often contains numerous benefits aimed at one or more identity groups. But perhaps even more strikingly, race and sex increasingly permeate the activity of regulatory agencies. For example, disparate impact liability, originally the brainchild of EEOC lawyers, used to be limited to employment law. But in more recent years it has spread to areas like housing and credit, thus putting lenders and landlords in the same boat with employers, where every criterion they use for hiring, promoting, lending, or leasing is presumptively illegal. Elected officials who otherwise support the principles of limited government are often reluctant to push back when expansions of the administrative state are couched in terms of race or sex. Are they being prudent? Or something else?Prof. Gail Heriot, Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of LawMr. Peter Kirsanow, Partner, Benesch Attorneys at LawProf. R. Shep Melnick, O'Neill Professor, Boston College, Department of Political ScienceProf. Ted Shaw, Julius L.
