Ban the Box?
b'It\\u2019s Part 2 of our discussion of the Supreme Court\\u2019s affirmative action cases, with Harvard and the University of North Carolina defending their procedures\\xa0 We play clips from the oral arguments, with every justice chiming in along with the advocates, and our analysis follows.\\xa0 This time we address themes that recurred during the arguments - how does one determine an endpoint for racial preferences in admissions?\\xa0 How can we measure or pinpoint the educational value of diversity?\\xa0 What is the appropriate level of diversity - is it necessarily identical to the proportional representation in the population?\\xa0 And importantly, what might take the place of the \\u201ccheckbox\\u201d that currently appears on most college applications, designating one\\u2019s race?\\xa0 Professor Amar\\u2019s 1996 article, co-authored with Neal Katyal, somewhat prophetically touched on these and other themes, and it is referenced frequently in these discussions.'
