Socioeconomic Class: The New Affirmative Action?
FRIDAY IN COLLIS 212 at 6PM
FREE FOOD!!! Featuring Jewel of India​
​
The impetus toward Affirmative Action is to redress the disadvantages associated with overt historical discrimination. Further impetus is a desire to ensure public institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and police forces, are more representative of the populations they serve. Affirmative action is a subject of controversy.

The SEC Dinner Discussion Series​ aims to be a safe space where we conduct group discussions about interesting questions, topics, and themes that are linked to class. The discussion will be moderated by 2 students, and everyone gets a chance to speak. All expressed points of view are valid and we expect that everyone be respectful of others!
