Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, June 6, at 2 pm ET for "After Affirmative Action: Collapsing the Infrastructure."
A Supreme Court decision against racial preferences in college admissions would go a long way toward restoring equality to American higher education. But it would be naive to assume that colleges and universities would completely stop using racial preferences if the Court ruled the current admissions scheme unconstitutional. Instead, they may simply become more subtle in their efforts to manipulate the demographics of incoming classes.
Is there a future where colleges and universities do not promote racially discriminatory practices in admissions? What might that look like, and how might we get there?
This event will feature Maimon Schwarzschild, a Professor of Law at the University of San Diego and author of numerous books; Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute and nonresident scholar at Georgetown University; and Randall Kennedy, a Professor of Law at Harvard University and author.

Join the National Association of Scholars Tuesday, June 13, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: George Washington Carver and Agricultural Innovation."
George Washington Carver had a genius for agriculture, a genius that allowed him to challenge prevailing norms and take a fresh look at topics that others considered settled. From peanut butter to soil rotation techniques, modern agriculture owes much to Carver's work.
What were George Washington Carver's contributions to modern agricultural science? What challenges did he face, and how did he overcome them?
This event will feature Gary Kremer, Director of the State Historical Society of Missouri and adjunct Professor of History at the University of Missouri; William Federer, author of over 20 books and Senior Fellow at the D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship; and Mark Hersey, an associate Professor of History at Mississippi State University and author of My Work Is That of Conservation: An Environmental Biography of George Washington Carver.
