Week 3 papers

The authors of our text introduce the concept of reverse discrimination in affirmative action programs. In  Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College , the Supreme Court found that race-based affirmative action college admissions programs violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 

Briefly summarize the majority and dissenting opinions of the justices and discuss your position on this issue. What ramifications does this opinion have for other programs, such as affirmative action in criminal justice hiring? What parallels can be drawn or distinctions made between college admissions and criminal justice employment?

What school of thought and Master from Chapter 4 do you believe supports either the majority or dissenting opinions?

Is reverse discrimination in criminal justice employment acceptable if its practice thereby diffuses social unrest in the criminal justice field?

Given the Court’s holding in an educational setting, how can police departments create hiring practices to include diverse workforces and combat racial prejudices within a department?

This paper should be a minimum of 750 words and no more than 1000 words, excluding the title and reference page.
