Affirmative Action ballot initiative debated

Wayne State University Law School Dean Frank Wu participated in a recent State Bar of Michigan Annual Meeting debate on Proposal 2 which, if passed in next month's election, would ban affirmative action in Michigan. Wu argued that considering race and gender was the only way to remedy past discrimination. "If we think diversity is important, if we take it seriously, then looking at race and gender is not only the best way, it's the only way to bring in meaningful numbers" of those who were formerly excluded from positions of power. A photo of Wu is included.
