'We expect that 25 years from now the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today,' Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote in her 5-to-4 majority opinion last week [June 23, 2003]. While the justices have in the past said that affirmative action should not be used forever, never before has a justice placed a specific time limit on it. Having now done so, Justice O'Connor has raised tough questions, both broad and specific." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article addresses the questions raised by O'Connor's deadline. A time line of affirmative actions in U.S. history is included.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
