case.
2. What
are the issues surrounding affirmative action in this case? Is a part of the
law being challenged?

agree or disagree with the specific findings of the case?
4. Now
that you have explained the case, please provide your own opinion regarding
affirmative action.
In your
response, please include the following:
Describe the positives and negatives.·
How successful has affirmative action been in
correcting inequalities?·
Should affirmative action be continued forever
or discontinued at some point?·
Your paper

may include your opinion in this assignment, please avoid using the first
person “I.” Additionally, you are required to use at least one outside source
to support your opinion. You may choose the article in the required reading or
a different source of choice. Your paper must have a title and reference page. All
source material must be referenced (paraphrased and quoted material must have

Psychological Association (APA Style Guide)
