Campus Climate Working Group (CCWG) lecture on Affirmative Action<\/p>\n
The Campus Climate Working Group (CCWG) focused its third lecture of the semester on the issue of Affirmative Action. Dennis Hayashi, director of the U.S. Department of Human Resources\u2019 office for civil rights, and Randall Kennedy, professor of law at Harvard University, debated over the definition of Affirmative Action and the direction it should take. Hayashi argued that rather than focus on specific quotas for women and people of color, the policies should exist to help anyone who faced an unfair disadvantage, including people from those groups. Kennedy was more emphatic about the need to temporarily take factors such as race and gender into account to \u201cget past the burdens of the past.\u201d Both men agreed that a color-blind approach to race relations would not work.<\/i><\/p>\n
