<the Chronicle: State Bans on Affirmative Action Have Been of Little Benefit to Asian-American Students, Report Says
Contrary to predictions in a widely cited 2005 study that said Asian-American students were the biggest losers in affirmative action, those students made only minor gains at law schools when the practice was banned in three states, according to a new study.
An article in the spring issue of the Michigan Journal of Race & Law challenges the 2005 study, in which sociologists at Princeton University predicted that Asian-Pacific-Americans would occupy four out of every five seats created by accepting fewer African-American and Hispanic students if affirmative action were eliminated at elite universities (The Chronicle, June 17, 2005).
