This Web site carries an article about a November 21 debate at Lawrence Technological University between Frank Wu, dean of the WSU Law School , and Ward Connerly, a former California regent who is proposing a ballot initiative in Michigan that the writer says "would end equal opportunity and affirmative action in higher education, employment and contracting in Michigan ." Wu said affirmative action is "necessary, but not sufficient. We must have at least the ability to take race into account because it is the most effective, sometimes the only, means that we can address these difficult issues of race."
