How College Admissions Preferences Actually Undercut Race and Ethnic Diversity/Affirmative Action Programs
Most colleges and universities have a long history of granting preferential treatment to targeted minority applicants.

Includes Hansen's complaints to the U.S Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights about racially-exclusive scholarship and grant programs in the UW System and at UW-Madison.
