Manuscript Draft / Essay / Book Excerpt • 2.44 MB
View

This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or essay (likely by Alan Dershowitz given the 'rights come from wrongs' phrasing and House Oversight context) dated April 2, 2012. The text discusses the author's evolving views on affirmative action, noting that while they originally opposed race-based decisions, experience has shown it produced positive results without the feared negative impact on Jewish admissions. The author argues that WASP admissions decreased instead, and concludes that while means may change, the goal of equality remains constant.
