Blog #7 Case

My topic for research paper is " The iceberg of racial diversity policies/environment at a college campus : benefits that come along with undercover deleterious consequences".

 The example or the chief case in my paper is Fisher Vs. University of Texas case. This is an ideal case, which is directly related to my research topic. It talks about the value and authenticity of consequences associated with racial diversity policy of affirmative action in US colleges and universities . This case is under it's final review process in the US Supreme court. It involves undergraduate student Abigail Fisher, who sued  University of Texas in 2008 because she was rejected admission to the University. She asks the court to declare the admissions policy inconsistent or to over rule it. There are two arguments regarding this case; one, that Fisher would have not been able to get admission because of her low academic performance at school even if the university didn't have any affirmative action policy. The other side argues that due to the affirmative action policy in Universities other people are suffering and there will be more people like Fisher who get rejected because of universities affirmative action policy. My paper will help to answer which side is more authentic and even if the affirmative action policy has benefits to the minority groups they also come along with consequences, and this case is one of the consequences of racial diverse policies in USA. Moreover, my research paper will magnify this issue and then give answers whether it is legitimate of overlook the consequences of the racial diversity policies at college campuses because of its benefits. The article that I am using for this case is by Susannah Pollvogt and it's details are given in my blog post #4.
