On Common Ground: Affirmative Action in California
Thursday, February 18 | 5:00 pm
Last year fifty seven percent of voters rejected California’s Prop 16, reaffirming a 1996 constitutional ban on affirmative action. So where do we go from here? Will affirmative action ever prevail in California? If not, how else can we address the inequities that plague our state? And how do we build a coalition that truly supports equal opportunity for all?
Join KQED's race and equity reporter, Sandhya Dirks and student guest reporter Janelle Marie Salanga as they lead this conversation on affirmative action with Lisa Garcia Bedolla, Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Dean of the Graduate Division at UC Berkeley and Eva Patterson, President and Co-Co-Founder of the Equal Justice Society.
