Diversity in higher education is facing a significant threat as the Supreme Court examines the future of affirmative action, or race-conscious admissions practices, at American colleges and universities. In her book, On the Basis of Race, Lauren S. Foley delves into the current crisis, exploring the past, present, and potential future of this contentious policy. From the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in the mid-twentieth century to recent cases such as Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Foley examines how organizations have both resisted and complied with public policies regarding race. She also sheds light on the role of admissions officers, who have played a crucial role in the long fight to protect racial diversity in higher education, in navigating the challenges posed by affirmative action bans.
Foley takes readers behind the scenes of student admissions, revealing how various universities, including the University of Michigan, have creatively responded to affirmative action bans. Through her comprehensive analysis, On the Basis of Race provides valuable insight into the history of a controversial idea and policy, while also offering a glimpse into its uncertain future. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the ongoing debate surrounding affirmative action and its impact on higher education.
