“Beyond Percentage Plans: The Challenge of Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.” Poor Substitutes for Affirmative Action
By George E. Curry, contributing writer and editor in chief NNPA.org
Conclusions of detailed 115-page draft report by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. After examining percentage plans in California, Texas and Florida, the commissioners immediately went to the heart of the issue: “Can percentage plans achieve the goal of equal education opportunity? Based on the analysis performed here, the answer unfortunately is no.” [FULL_TEXT]
Report Names Mississippi Worst State for
Women
By Nikki Burns -- Special from The Mississippi Link
JACKSON, MI -- According to the report, Mississippi reflects both the
advances and limited progress achieved by women in the United States.
Women in Mississippi and the United States as a whole are seeing important
changes in their lives and in their access to political, economic and
social rights. However, this is not to suggest that women in Mississippi
are equal to men or have the legal guarantees to achieve that equality.

Me ‘Til You Use Me Up
Commentary By James Clingman
Why are some people of so eager to allow themselves to be used by the
establishment to make blacks believe everything is just fine? And, why
do we keep falling for it? In my hometown, especially when it comes to
economic issues such as so-called economic development projects, the scenario
is always the same. [FULL_TEXT]
College SATs Incompatible With Black Mobility:
Abolish The Racial Tyranny Of The Tests
In 2002, the gap between the average white score and the average black
score had grown to 203 points. In the past year alone the black-white
scoring gap on the SAT increased by two points. If schools operate under
a strict race-neutral admissions policy where SAT scores were the most
important qualifying yardstick, these universities could fill their freshman
classes almost exclusively with students who score at the very top of
the SAT scoring scale. Black students make up at best between 1 and 2
percent of these high-scoring groups. [FULL_TEXT]
DIVERSITY IN AMERICA
Building Bridges Between Multicultural Markets
Commentary By William Reed -- As America becomes a mosaic of cultures
and colors, we need to take a true picture of what “us” in the
U.S. means. Blacks, as well as whites, must rid themselves of their tensions
and lack of communication. As a “minority,” we must also address
the divisions, which exist between minorities and within minorities, because
such actions hamper progress for all. Isn’t it time all Americans
engage in programs and processes that address issues and practical realities
of cultural diversity. [FULL_TEXT]

DIVERSITY: Part II
What, if anything, helps?
By Mary P. Rowe -- An institution that wishes to diminish subtle
and overt discrimination, must have diversity programs to succeed. Mentoring,
family support programs, networks, dispute-resolution systems and training/diversity
programs. None of these recommendations are specially mandated by “affirmative
action” as conventionally, bureaucratically understood, but all are
consonant with the spirit of affirmative action. [FULL_TEXT]
