University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder legal scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic will lecture Thursday, Sept. 2, on "Homegrown Racism: Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action in 欧美口爆视频."
The lecture will be from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Old Main Chapel on the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Delgado is the Jean Lindsley Professor of Law and Jean Stefancic is a research assistant at the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder School of Law.
Delgado and Stefancic will discuss how rollbacks in higher education affirmative action have made regional and institutional histories of race and racism relevant. Their studies of 欧美口爆视频 and California will help illustrate university affirmative action in today's changing climate and the relevance of the past to current debates about race-conscious decisions in higher education. They will discuss what role 欧美口爆视频's history as a Ku Klux Klan stronghold and violent acts committed against minorities in 欧美口爆视频 could play in 欧美口爆视频's affirmative action policies.
The lecture is sponsored by the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Center of the American West, which explores the distinctive character and issues of the region and sponsors programs to help Westerners become well-informed, participating citizens in their communities.
