Letter: Affirmative action not sufficient to cure social ills
(04/02/03 5:00am)
I am writing in response to Peter Klopper's letter to The Chronicle supporting affirmative action on moral grounds. He makes some excellent points about past injustices and current socioeconomic inequities that should lead one to support affirmative action. However, it would be useful to distinguish between affirmative action in theory and affirmative action as it is currently practiced.
