Renu Mukherjee, a Paulson Policy Analyst at the Manhattan Institute, joins The Realignment to discuss the implications of the Supreme Court's likely decision to overturn the use of affirmative action in college admissions. Renu and Marshall cover possible race-neutral alternatives to the status quo, the balance between pure meritocracy and the advantage of a diverse (in all respects) student body, and the legal specifics of the Harvard University case driving the debate. They also explore the issues driving a possible realignment of Asian-American voters, at least at the local and city level.
