The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Showing His Spine (841 words)
Carnesale arrived at UCLA in the wake of the passage of state Proposition 209, the popularly approved initiative that barred state universities from considering race as a factor in admissions decisions.
Carnesale's bold disdain for fashionable public opinion is made even more extraordinary by the recent willingness of the University of California system's governing board to issue symbolic proclamations to win favor among racial minorities disenchanted with 209.
Carnesale's brave response to these problems is far better for California's neglected minority students than the chants of the protesters or the ineffectual gestures of the UC regents.
