Women and the Uneasy Embrace of Power


Although women now attend college at a higher rate than men, and have for the most part closed the gap in achieving advanced and professional degrees, women are not occupying the real power positions in corporations, academia, or the professions in anywhere near the same proportions as men.

California Supreme Court Rules Affirmative Action Ban Not Unconstitutional

 

The California Supreme Court ruled Monday that Proposition 209, the ballot measure that banned affirmative action by government, did not violate the federal Constitution.

All kinds of races and creeds could be found in his Army platoon. They came from all over.
