FAMU Professor Elizabeth Davenport Talks Affirmative Action In Higher Ed

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering the case is Fisher v. University of Texas. It’s the second time the case is before the Court. In 2013 Justices ruled the school had to show that taking race into consideration is necessary and narrowly applied. Several states have moved to limit or ban affirmative action at public colleges and universities. Lynn Hatter spoke with Florida A&M University Professor Elizabeth Davenport about the issue. Davenport is a self-described affirmative action beneficiary who graduated from the University of Michigan.
