dc.description.abstractWhat does it mean for a university to "seriously consider" race-neutral alternatives? Does it require, for instance, on-the-record review,documentation of underlying facts, or demonstration of an empirical basis for a decision? Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's affirmative action jurisprudence requires post-secondary institutions to address these questions, yet does little to answer them. By requiring universities to conduct "serious, good-faith consideration of workable race-neutral altematives before engaging in nonremedial race-conscious activities-but without specifying the requisite nature and scope of this "consideration"-Justice O'Connor has left many institutions to wonder what is needed to satisfy the Court.en_US
