Title A name given to the resource The Ongoing Need for Affirmative Action Subject The topic of the resource The article is written by the Beyond the Green staff. Authors defend Affirmative Action following the Supreme Court decision in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action to allow Michigan citizens to "bar the state using affirmative action in university admissions". The authors also point out the ways that anti-affirmative action rhetoric is prevalent at Middlebury. The authors point out how this type of rhetoric undermines the intellect/ qualifications of Middlebury students of color. Additionally, authors say that while class-based affirmative action is needed, it cannot be in the place of race-based affirmative action, because it denies intersectionality Description An account of the resource Volume 112, Number 25 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Beyond the Green Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Campus Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 05/08/2014 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Maya Doig-Acuna Alex Jackman Murray Dry- PSCI Professor Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant "One writer of this piece, Maya Doig-Acuna, shared that after she was admitted to Middlebury, many of her friends complained, saying: 'You're so lucky-- being black makes it so much easier to get into college,' and 'affirmative action makes it harder for white people to get into school.'" "Writer Alex Jackman contributes another experience: during a class discussion on affirmative action in the fall, Professor Dry presented an unfair dichotomy to his class: he asked, would you prefer to be a single black student in a classroom at a college that does not practice affirmative action and thereby not be questioned on your admission? Or be one of several minority students in a classroom at an affirmative action college where white peers were empowered to make assumptions about your intellectual aptitude and how you were accepted." affirmative action racism student activism
