The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) component of federal transportation programs creates important competitive advantages for firms considered to be socially and economically disadvantaged. Every recipient of federal transportation funds must set annual and contract goals targeting the DBE share of contract dollars. All firms owned by women and minorities are presumed to be socially disadvantaged and can become certified DBEs. DBE program…
Judicial Splits
When the Supreme Court pronounces on race and education it makes headlines. On 28 June 2007 the Supreme Court revealed its long-anticipated decisions on Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 and Meredith v. Jefferson County, proving that maneuvering the minefield of America’s race relations is just as difficult and divisive as it has ever been. In this carefully constructed essay, George R. La Noue examines the de…
Michigan’s homework assignment
No one believes that Gratz/Grutter are the last word on the use of race in higher education, but there are no other cases in this area immediately on the horizon. Instead we are in a period of “gathering good data,”31 “what evidence supports your conclusion,”32 “leave a paper against what criteria.”34 The outcome of the next round of litigation may well depend on how higher education has accomplished those tasks. The academic world will be best s…

The new imperative for admissions transparency
Deconstructing the Affirmative Action Categories
Affirmative action preferences have traditionally benefited four racial and ethnic group categories: African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. These categories may be overinclusive, masking important socioeconomic differences among nationalities within the categories.

Race Neutral Programs in Public Contracting
Because the racial and ethnic characteristics of America's urban areas have changed dramatically in the last two decades, strategies for including new groups in employment, education, and public contracting opportunities have been debated in most cities. In broad terms, these strategies can be classified as race-neutral or race-conscious policies. Race-neutral programs may involve creating new laws against discrimination and improving enforcement…
