So when Cohen discovered, after encountering some resistance, how his school, in its admirable wish to increase minority enrollment, was actually practicing a form of racial discrimination--calling it \"\"affirmative action\"\"--he found himself at odds with his longtime allies and colleagues in an effort to defend the equal treatment of the races at his university. In\u003cem\u003e A Conflict of Principles\u003c\/em\u003e Cohen tells the story of what happened at Michigan, how racial preferences were devised and implemented there, and what was at stake in the heated and divisive controversy that ensued. He gives voice to the judicious and seldom heard liberal argument against affirmative action in college admission policies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1970s, as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union, Cohen vigorously supported programs devised to encourage the recruitment of minorities in colleges, and in private employment. But some of these efforts gave deliberate preference to blacks and Hispanics seeking university admission, and this Cohen recognized as a form of racism, however well-meaning. In his book he recounts the fortunes of contested affirmative action programs as they made their way through the legal system to the Supreme Court, beginning with DeFunis v. Odegaard (1974) at the University of Washington Law School, then Bakke v. Regents of the University of California (1978) at the Medical School on the UC Davis campus, and culminating at the University of Michigan in the landmark cases of Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger (2003). He recounts his role in the initiation of the Michigan cases, explaining the many arguments against racial preferences in college admissions. He presents a principled case for the resultant amendment to the Michigan constitution, of which he was a prominent advocate, which prohibited preference by race in public employment and public contracting, as well as in public education. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn eminently readable personal, consistently fair-minded account of the principles and politics that come into play in the struggles over affirmative action, \u003cem\u003eA Conflict of Principles\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply thoughtful and thought-provoking contribution to our national conversation about race.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50360686674193,"sku":"CIN0700619968G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52448086425873,"sku":"NLS9780700619962","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0700619968.jpg?v=1763220397"},{"product_id":"naked-racial-preference-book-carl-cohen-9781568330532","title":"Naked Racial Preference","description":"From landmark court cases on affirmative action to their consequences, a study on why such preferences are morally wrong, unlawful, and indefensible.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50381803454737,"sku":"CIN1568330537VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037571481873,"sku":"NIN9781568330532","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52614033572113,"sku":"NLS9781568330532","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1568330537.jpg?v=1750719726"},{"product_id":"communism-fascism-and-democracy-book-carl-cohen-9780394313191","title":"Communism, Fascism, and Democracy","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50434081423633,"sku":"CIN0394313194A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324597338385,"sku":"CIN0394313194G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0394313194.jpg?v=1751357710"},{"product_id":"animal-rights-debate-book-carl-cohen-9780847696635","title":"The Animal Rights Debate","description":"Do all animals have rights? Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in medical research, or rabbits and cows as food? How ought we resolve conflicts between the interests of humans and those of other animals? Philosophical inquiry is essential in addressing such questions; the answers given must have enormous practical importance. Here for the first time in the same volume, the animal rights debate is argued deeply and fully by the two most articulate and influential philosophers representing the opposing camps. Each makes his case in turn to the opposing case. The arguments meet head on: Are we humans morally justified in using animals as we do? A vexed and enduring controversy here receives its deepest and most eloquent exposition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50477889093905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50477890306321,"sku":"CIN0847696634G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51687424983313,"sku":"NIN9780847696635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52454024544529,"sku":"NLS9780847696635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53069908017425,"sku":"CIN0847696634VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847696634.jpg?v=1753786780"},{"product_id":"both-wrong-and-bad-book-carl-cohen-9781478797708","title":"Both Wrong and Bad","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51028807942417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028811645201,"sku":"NIN9781478797708","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478797703.jpg?v=1750891900"},{"product_id":"training-program-to-enhance-cultural-competency-in-nursing-homes-book-carl-cohen-9781105269011","title":"Training Program to Enhance Cultural Competency in Nursing Homes","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53567710429457,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53567710494993,"sku":"NIN9781105269011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781105269011.jpg?v=1786271697"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carl-cohen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
