How Washington state's law against affirmative action has hurt, or helped, college students
Bill Radke speaks with Eugene Volokh and Dr. Jim Sulton Jr. about race-based college admissions.
Washington state passed a law in 1998 that prevented colleges from using affirmative action. Sulton says that the law has harmed students of color by sending a message that they are not welcome, and that affirmative action allows for a more diverse campus.
Volokh argues that studies show affirmative action has harmed students of all races by shifting the focus away from education and creates divisions between different groups.
Volokh is a law school professor at UCLA and Sulton is the former executive director of the Higher Education Coordinating Board.
