Professor Brooks will moderate this panel. A second panel will convene at 4 p.m. to consider the meaning of diversity and its relevance to affirmative action. The future of the university in the context of affirmative action will come under scrutiny on October 18 at 10 a.m. The university has been a prime site of real and symbolic contest in this battle, pitting merit-based selection of students and faculty against selection on the grounds of race or gender. Anthony Kronman, dean of the Yale Law School and Edward J. Phelps Professor of Law, will moderate this session.
All sessions are free and open to the public.
