Race Discrimination in Public Higher Education

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the ongoing debate surrounding civil rights laws in higher education, particularly in states with a history of racial segregation. It highlights two contrasting perspectives on Title VI enforcement: conservatives argue that the absence of current discrimination negates the need for government oversight, while liberals contend that enforcement has been inadequate despite evidence of persistent discrimination. This examination reflects broader societal tensions regarding race, equity, and the role of government in addressing historical injustices in education.
