<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>As the United States experiences dramatic demographic change--and as our society's income inequality continues to rise--promoting racial, ethnic, and economic inclusion at selective colleges has become more important than ever. At the same time, however, many Americans--including several members of the U.S. Supreme Court--are uneasy with explicitly using race as a factor in college admissions. The Court's decision in <i>Fisher v. University of Texas</i> emphasized that universities can use race in admissions only when necessary, and that universities bear the ultimate burden of demonstrating, before turning to racial classifications, that available, workable race-neutral alternatives do not suffice.</p> <p>With race-based admission programs increasingly curtailed, <i>The Future of Affirmative Action</i> explores race-neutral approaches as a method of promoting college diversity after Fisher decision. The volume suggests that Fisher might on the one hand be a further challenge to the use of racial criteria in admissions, but on the other presents a new opportunity to tackle, at long last, the burgeoning economic divisions in our system of higher education, and in society as a whole.</p> <p>Contributions from: <b> Danielle Allen</b> (Princeton); <b>John Brittain</b> (University of the District of Columbia) and <b>Benjamin Landy</b> (MSNBC.com); <b>Nancy Cantor</b> and <b>Peter Englot</b> (Rutgers-Newark); <b>Anthony P.
