Multiculturalism and Affirmative Action synthesis assignments are due (hard copy)
Prompt for Affirmative Action assignment:

Synthesis Paper-Winter Break          AP English Language 2016

Universities have been relying on nonresident tuition to help fill budget gaps left by declining state appropriations.  The result, in some cases, has put students, particularly minorities, at a disadvantage when enrollments are finalized each year.  California voters, in particular, adopted Proposition 209 in 1996, which resulted in a state constitutional ban on any use of race in admissions to its public universities.  Has the ban on affirmative action made it impossible to create a student body with an appropriate racial and ethnic balance?  In a well-written, properly-cited paper take a position on the effect affirmative action has had on enrollments at universities nationwide using the three articles provided in class.  Be specific in your argument of whether affirmative action has a positive or negative effect on university enrollments nationwide.

Cite your sources.
