Chief Justice Roberts was correct in his assessment; Affirmative Action is a direct violation of the equal protection clause. There are many programs that can and should advance black higher education but Affirmative Action does put White and Asian students at a disadvantage. While I encourage diversity in education and employment, It cannot be accomplished by creating a disadvantage of other ethnic groups. Legacy admissions need to be redrafted from the ground up. While I appreciate a schools desire to recognize contributions of past alumni, it should not become a standard of school policy.
