Levine 91ЩЌТў March 24, 2003 Good morning and welcome to this media briefing on “Legal Frameworks and Critical Research Findings in the University of Michigan Affirmative Action Cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.” I am Felice Levine, Executive Director, of the 91ЩЌТў, and I have the pleasure today of serving as your moderator. I will be quite brief in my opening remarks because my goal and role is not to talk at you BUT to introduce this session and to serve as “facilitator” to get some basic information out and to get your questions answered. The packet you received provides considerable background on the topic and on the panelists so I will not repeat that detail here. First and foremost, however, I want to emphasize that the goal of this briefing is educational. On April 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the cases of Gratz v. Bollinger and Grutter v. Bollinger relating, respectively, to undergraduate and law school admissions policies at the University of Michigan. This topic and these cases are more than high profile. They drew an unprecedented number of amici curiae briefs in support of the University of Michigan—seeking to serve as “friend of the court” from across sectors of society, including 88 colleges and universities, 50 higher education associations representing virtually every college and university in the nation, 68 Fortune 500 corporations, 29 former high-ranking military leaders, and even 18 broadcast media companies and organizations. Also major scientific and research societies including the American Sociological Association, the American Psychological Association, and the 91ЩЌТў and groups of scientists filed amici briefs. Our purpose today is to help you navigate through, understand, and use the relevant social science that speaks to the fundamental legal and policy issues that animate these cases. I am honored to moderate this panel because each of my colleagues are scholars of education as well as practitioners in their craft, and they are deeply committed to the value of scientific knowledge and the highest standards for its use. Because the knowledge about the impact of diversity in higher education is powerful and compelling, there is an overwhelming consensus in the higher education community about the value of diversity. And, our panel can speak as scholars and practitioners to this connection as well. As you know from the background materials you received, but let me emphasize, all of us on the panel today were involved in filing amici briefs supporting the University of Michigan in its efforts to diversify its undergraduate and law schools through race conscious admissions. Three organizations—the 91ЩЌТў, the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and the American Association for Higher Education—did so together out of a conviction that social science can AND should matter to the legal and public policy considerations before the Court. In addition to my presence from 91ЩЌТў, the panel includes Dr. Carol Geary Schneider, an historian and President of the Association of American Colleges and Universities and Dr. Yolanda Moses, a cultural anthropologist and current President of the American Association for Higher Education. Dr. Geary became President of AAC&U in 1998 and, under her tutelage that organization has played a leadership role in support of diversity in higher education. As scholar and practitioner, Dr. Moses has long been in the trenches as a higher education leader, including serving as President of the City College of New York from 1993 to 1999. Also, on the panel today is Dr. Patricia Gurin, Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Psychology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Gurin is a full-time “bench” scientist, knowledge-producer, and teacher whose work has added immeasurably to our capacity to address the concerns underlying this case. And, last but not least, I am pleased that the attorneys for our brief, Angelo Ancheta and Christopher Edley, Jr. are also on the panel today. Mr. Ancheta, our lead counsel, is a Lecturer on Law at the Harvard Law School and Director of Legal and Policy Advocacy Programs for the Civil Rights Project. Professor Edley, at the Harvard Law School, is founding co-director of The Civil Rights Project, and is currently serving a six-year term as a member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. As a “hard-nosed” social psychologist myself, I am pleased to report that Ancheta and Edley are quite the students of social science in their own right and bring a level of scrutinizing the research evidence that shows as well their acumen as attorneys and legal scholars. The panelists today will speak in the order of the program as set forth in your packet. Professor Edley will speak first with an overview of the legal framework and the connections to social science. He will be followed by Drs. Gurin, Schneider, and Moses. We will conclude our opening presentations with Mr. Ancheta who will make some comments about a new briefing paper in your packet as well as bring our formal remarks together. We appreciate that there is plenty of expertise in the audience, and we want to move through the opening presentations in rapid fire so that we can engage in dialogue with you. Let me add that, in addition to members of the media, others of you I recognize bring substantial knowledge about the issues in these cases. I am pleased we can be joined today by Dr. Cathy Horn, a Research Associate at the Harvard Civil Rights Project and noted expert studying the percentage plans and in particular the impact of the Hopwood decision. If you have any questions in that area, I trust we can turn to her as a resource person during the Q&A. Our plan is to hold questions until we conclude the opening presentations. My role from this point forward is to serve as “effective traffic cop” in “navigating” us through this “course” and opening up questions and discussion to you. Without further adieu, allow me to turn the podium over to Professor Edley. _`О а е и й щ Б Ж  lqXxдмŠ‘*1(/_ їѓячячтчячячячяѓяояояояояhВuР h“\Y6h“\Yh&?p6h&?ph“\Yh“\Yh&?p5&P_`  В Г   )*шщ;<ГДіїђѓЅІ"# їїїїђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђђgd&?p$a$gd“\Y_ ў  [ \ ^ _ њњњњњgd&?p21h:pЊ|рАа/ Ар=!А"АT#а$ %ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No List_*џџџџ&P_`ВГ)*ш щ ; < ГДіїђѓЅІ"#[\^a˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€_  _ _ џџZ•6ŒoЁ[•6єц \•6DwЁ]•6ДЂ ^•6œт _•6tЂ `•6\3Ёa•6d‡Љb•6мђ c•6ŒЌ d•6єЊe•6Є2Ёf•6LЉ g•6œђ h•63Ёi•6œ?j•6Ђk•6L!Ёl•6ŒЦЉ!==Kˆ ˆ – 11?ССЩЭ==EIwa     .GSS’ ž ž ;GGШЬггDHOO~a   =*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€>*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PersonName€ Ф‚иaa^_ийw x дмŠ‘*1(/aa:х9q7JbGC^ЎУdhv.$&бAˆ^ щ( ™) Ў^ ›x ?rз7ёc)fы p<1B3ЊјLд|s)–…жC7oц\Z ѕ!]+!e:!ЮG!Y &=)$)Њ1* 3*o*,1.y0Ч10(1Ђi1›x1~1ДU3ц[3RM4­5“*5—*5 w5Г56жA6C 767W7Z7ѕv749L.9w";ep;\&</=љ1=‡L=A?л@@AЊBъZC DЄYD"!EОFEbrEDwFuEHCQH“Iс JюTJJw|L+NяCN\]PQЪ}QоPSЌFTХOT‹ U|V ?Vэ^W kWbX Y“\YщpYj"]Ч<]}_ЏZ_Њr_i`/ZaАJbnLbH|c6eQesxeа f˜fВg‘]h#j6HjIXjJUkьJlXlKm:nVnД6oI/p&?p‹fpтxpqЭ=q=AtіFx?yЃzБz6>z+xzь}˜h~№`^]yk€‚p~Y‚1….…B;…Ÿw…Ђ†пH†6 ˆІˆ?ˆѕ|ˆ"F‰‡i‰ѓ"ŠлuŠ'Œ‰JŒˆS<Єm’!“p“A ”­#”B5–•M˜№d™šЫg›„j›(oœ_ХžўŸГtЂpЃУЃ*cЃ2 ЄŒЅЭLЅжІ lЈЃ{Љ~Љ"Ќ­!@ЎЮ3Џ.4ЏъyАЊ8Б(xБnrГЫЕsЕиЗ0ЗxxЗ ИцКЃК7КЛќBЛ•NЛ@ Н@TО_AПэqПВuР-УУvYУЃ7Фж\Ф[>Ц{Ч+YЩЄ_ЩwdЩм Ы Ьв-ЬЕWЬ–ZЬЉ$ЮkbЮ"SЯ…а%б;rб31вh;гЖжяUжф`ж/зuOзњи}иTийGйZкnyкмшcм`[н;оe\о,{о8rп'wпЊ|рси'с˜0сњCуЙuуцi(ц"!чfzшй(щ'ъ„ ъј@ъИ?ы’Xы‰ ььГHьˆю$cю&cя#ёX"ђкWђlєЛsєLѕ)!ѕВітїк$ї<^їј%"ј4+јЬ;њ_gћ“Cќ[ќ$§ѕs§а"џдnџџ@€……шIи……_€@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"ёˆ№аhЎcѕ†dѕ†ЃМ ,ЃМ ,!№аДДr4SS2ƒ№HX)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ&?p2џџOpening Introduction hpatterson hpattersonўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0„˜ИФиф№   @ L Xdlt|фOpening Introduction hpattersonNormal hpatterson4Microsoft Office Word@Є“ж@ф7ждЬ@R(дсЬЃМўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0 hp€ˆ˜  ЈАИ Р сф91ЩЌТў, S' Opening Introduction Title ўџџџ ўџџџ"#$%&'(ўџџџ*+,-./0ўџџџ§џџџ3ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РF ѕЛшсЬ5€1Tableџџџџџџџџ”WordDocumentџџџџџџџџ4*SummaryInformation(џџџџ!DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџџџџџ)CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџqџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
