The undergraduate need for affirmative action is still apparent, while more advanced programs may need to end it to give credibility to their graduates. Surprisingly many of the people arguing against affirmative action in recent years are minority groups. The reason for this is that many of those with advanced degrees and leaders feel that it cheapens their accomplishments.
People think they have attained their place through quotas rather than through achievement.
Others feel that the imposition of quotas may one day lead to reverse discrimination suits. This has happened in more than one case. And in areas such as Florida and New Mexico where the population is no longer predominantly Caucasian, it may become a costly problem. Probably not until the inner city schools are not predominantly minority students. I think special attention needs to be given to these students or they may fail.
