University of Colorado at Boulder legal scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic will lecture Thursday, Sept. 2, on "Homegrown Racism: Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action in Colorado."
The lecture will be from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Old Main Chapel on the 抖阴短视频-Boulder campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Delgado is the Jean Lindsley Professor of Law and Jean Stefancic is a research assistant at the 抖阴短视频-Boulder School of Law.
Delgado and Stefancic will discuss how rollbacks in higher education affirmative action have made regional and institutional histories of race and racism relevant. Their studies of Colorado and California will help illustrate university affirmative action in today's changing climate and the relevance of the past to current debates about race-conscious decisions in higher education. They will discuss what role Colorado's history as a Ku Klux Klan stronghold and violent acts committed against minorities in Colorado could play in 抖阴短视频's affirmative action policies.
The lecture is sponsored by the 抖阴短视频-Boulder Center of the American West, which explores the distinctive character and issues of the region and sponsors programs to help Westerners become well-informed, participating citizens in their communities.
