Affirmative Action at Harvard University
Abstract
Affirmative action was introduced to the American universities in the 1960s.
The aim of this policy was to benefit the underrepresented groups, especially
African Americans both in the higher education and the job market.
The affirmative action was introduced to ensure equal opportunities as well
as cultural diversity. The policy of Harvard University towards African Americans,
Asian Americans and the other excluded groups was analyzed in this
article. Moreover, the attempt to reconstruct the current debate about outcomes
of the affirmative action was made. The article also tries to answer
the following questions: did the affirmative action increase the number of
the minority groups at Harvard University? Has the policy of equal opportunities
eliminated inequalities or, on the contrary has it deepened them?
