The University of Michigan Affirmative Action lawsuits
and the current ballot initiative have brought the issue of affirmative
action in higher education into
the national spotlight. This CRLT website is an academic resource that
provides instructors with materials to facilitate teaching. The
Discussion Guidelines and Resources
for Teaching in Diverse Classrooms describe ways that instructors
can have educational discussions about affirmative action and other
controversial topics while maintaining a civil atmosphere. The other
webpages include links to materials about the
University of Michigan cases and other resources
on the value of diversity in the classroom, as well as information
about offices
supporting diversity at the University of Michigan.
