But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.

Part two: Race Class Ep. 21 | Why Ask Students About Race?
In SFFA v. Harvard, the Supreme Court narrowed a university’s ability to consider the racial identity of individual students during admissions. But Justice Roberts emphasized that universities may freely consider each student’s personal experiences with race or racism. Universities across the country have responded with new admissions essays that prompt students to share how race or racism affects their lives. In this episode of #RaceClass, we ask a basic question: Why ask about race? We identify three answers: *(1)* “merit” includes *racial literacy*; *(2)* *holistic review*cannot occur without a full picture of a student’s lived experience; and (3) enrolling students with diverse experiences with racism means *more and better learning* in the classroom. listen online at www.wnhnfm.org/live Listen anytime to the podcast at www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238 <www.podomatic.com/podcasts/staff74238> Attitude with Arnie Arnesen, Tim Snyder, On Tyranny, KFF health news, Elizabeth Rosenthal, Big Pharma, profits, medicare, negotiate prices, patents, generics, BU Law School, Professor Jonathan Feingold, race class, affirmative action, college essays, minority students
