“Affirmative action in education is justified.”
Does that statement make you angry? Indignant? Confused? Curious?
On Monday, Nov. 21, from 8 PM - 10 PM, join the Asian American Student Association and the Philodemic Society as we debate that very issue, specifically from the perspective of the Asian-American / Pacific Islander perspective.
Come ready to listen, whether or not you have something to say. Come ready to have your opinions challenged, or make up your mind as you hear others’ perspectives. We look forward to seeing you there!
