Class Based Affirmative Action in College Admissions
|
|
Richard D. Kahlenberg,

|
To ensure greater fairness in the college admissions process and to maintain diversity at selective universities, affirmative action programs should be “mended” rather than “ended” so that preferences are provided on the basis of economic disadvantage. All the major proposals for changing affirmative action policies at universities have problems. However, a reformed system based on socioeconomic disadvantage—considering high school quality, parents’ income and net worth, and neighborhood poverty rates, among other factors—could provide elite institutions with racially and economically diverse classes more fairly than programs based purely on race. This brief addresses the strengths and weaknesses of a new affirmative action system, as well as ways to implement such a system in the nation’s colleges and universities.
