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.
