Affirmative Action The Position of Affirmative Action in Universities Today After about thirty years of implementation, affirmative action is losing the foothold that it has in our society. Many debates have arisen with the passing of proposition 209, a ban on affirmative action in California. Washington has even passed an initiative modeled from proposition 209, and more states are now starting to debate the issue. The ban has become a reality in major universities in California and Texas. The results show a significant decrease in the enrollment of minorities. Thus the question arises, what should we do with affirmative action' Specifically, should public universities follow affirmative action in the enrollment of students' The University of Georgia was ordered by federal courts to admit its first black students on January 6, 1961. Since then, segregation has been abolished in all areas of the United States. The ending of affirmative action brings many new fears as to whether this desegregation will continue. There are fears that schools will decide to not admit minority students at all. Then the community will regress to where it was back in 1961. There is no doubt that affirmative action has helped minority students to be accepted into college. students, affirmative, action, minority, schools, college, should, enrollment, university, people, because, white, minorities, campuses, california, accepted, think, situation, school, based, academic, student, standards, race, qualified, player, major, leagues, help, even, enough, diversification, community, colleges, been, admittance, whole, universities, recruitment, quota, question, person, out, one, meet, look, less, krauthammer, hispanic, helped
