26. Nixon's Ghost: Racial Quotas-May They Rest in Peace
- www.policyreview.org
- Affirmative-action policies, both public and private, have opened many economic and educational opportunities for Afri-can Americans, and have played an important role in one of the most encouraging developments of recent decades: the emergence of a large and growing black middle class. ... Even if racial preferences have been justified on a temporary basis, they surely cannot be justified for more than a generation. ...
- Senators Bob Dole and Phil Gramm both have promised that, if elected president, they would repeal President Nixon's executive order requiring all government contractors to submit detailed "goals and timetables" for the hiring and promotion of minorities and women. Governor Pete Wilson has abolished some racial hiring quotas established by California law. ...
- Perhaps the most dramatic movement is the California Civil Rights Initiative, which will be on the ballot next year and enjoys overwhelming support in public-opinion polls. The brainchild of two scholars, Glynn Custred and Thomas Wood, the initiative is based on the color-blind language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: "Neither the State of California nor any of its political subdivisions or agents shall use race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin as a criterion for either discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual or group in the operation of the State's system of public employment, public education or public contracting. ...
- It is just as wrong for the government to discriminate in favor of blacks and other minorities as it is to discriminate against them. Preferring one race to another is a violation of the Declaration of Independence, which holds that all men are created equal; of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees all citizens the equal protection of the laws; and of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which explicitly forbids government-mandated reverse discrimination. This discrimination has real victims, such as the Asians denied admission to the University of California in spite of spectacular records, and would-be policemen and firemen who lose jobs to applicants who are substantially less qualified. ...
- The number of black men in college has fallen behind even as affirmative-action preferences in college admissions have intensified: There are now only 540,000 African-American men in college, compared with 830,000 black women. The explosion of violent crime by young black men wasn't supposed to happen with affirmative action. Something drastically different must be done instead of racial preferences, or a generation of black men will be destroyed. ...
- The military, it is frequently said, is the only institution in America in whichblacks regularly give orders to whites. ...
- By contrast, public schools in America set tragically low academic expectations for poor children, especially for blacks and Hispanics. ...
- Expectations make all the difference for modest levels of achievement as well. ... But Florida gives students five chances to sit for the exam, and 90 percent of black 12th-graders now get passing scores. Those graduates are much better off for being forced to achieve a minimum level of competency. ...

- For those who predicted that USC was going to be hit with sanctions by the NCAA today as a result of allegations of recruiting violations within the men's basketball department, you were only half right: USC was hit with NCAA sanctions, but not as a result of anything the basketball coaches did or didn't do. ...
- The NCAA today announced in a press release that the University of Southern California has been placed on probation. While the NCAA had been investigating recruiting violations in the men's basketball program, the NCAA Committee on Infractions agreed that no violations were committed. ...
- The school will have reduced scholarships in both football and women's swimming and diving as a result of findings by the NCAA that academic fraud was committed, that the institution provided false and misleading information, and a lack of institutional monitoring. ...
- Thus, USC men's basketball will incur no penalties or sanctions as a result of the investigations which took place over the past several years, most of which were said to involve former USC men's assistant Dave Miller, who was alleged to have committed irregularities in connection with the recruitment of Jerry Dupree (who enrolled this past week after completing all of his JUCO academic requirements). ...
- UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLACED ON PROBATION,.
- INDIANAPOLIS---The University of Southern California will begin two years of probation today and will have scholarships in football and women's swimming and diving reduced as the result of findings by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions. ...
- There were also allegations of significant recruiting violations in the men's basketball program involving an assistant coach, but the committee agreed with the university's findings that no violations were committed. ...
- During that period of time, employees of the university's Student Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) substantially composed academic papers for three student-athletes. ...
- In all three instances - one in the summer of 1996, one in the fall of 1997 and one in the spring of 1998 - a tutor was asked by an assistant coach or a student-athlete to assist in preparing a paper for specific class assignments. ... The student-athletes submitted the papers as their own work for academic credit. ...
- The student-athlete involved in the summer 1996 violation was a football player who was assisted by a tutor coordinator for a paper in a political science class. After the paper was submitted, the football student-athlete received an A- for the course. ...
- In the case of the 1997 violation, a women's diving student-athlete presented a rough draft of a paper for a writing class in the handwriting of a tutor and submitted the final paper in her own handwriting. The course professor detected the fraud and awarded an F to the student-athlete for the course. ...
- Another football student-athlete was involved in the 1998 instance, involving a paper for a religion course. ...

- This act nullified the effects of the Grove City ruling by outlawing sex discrimination throughout an entire educational institution if any part of the institution received federal funding. ... She filed for damages in Federal District Court, which dismissed the complaint, saying Title IX does not authorize an award of damages. ... One problem with bringing Title IX complaints against colleges is not knowing how much money a college or university is putting into women’s and men’s sports. ... Students and prospective students can now ask a university’s athletics department for a report on expenditures and participation rates broken down by gender. ...
- Almost all of the cases that were dropped or lost involved men suing or complaining that they were being discriminated against. 38 In 1993, Howard University head women’s basketball coach Sanya Tyler sued Howard for sex discrimination under Title IX and the D. ... Human Rights Act, saying she was paid much less than the men's head basketball coach. ... The California Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) has also made significant strides for girls and women athletes by taking offenders to court. Finding the entire California State University system in violation of the 1976 California Education Code mandating immediate progress in gender equity in CSU intercollegiate athletics, California NOW filed suit against all twenty University campuses. In an out-of-court settlement, CSU officials agreed to provide equal opportunities and funding for women’s and men’s athletics on all campuses by the 1998-99 school year. ... Following the decision by the athletic department to cut two men’s and two women’s sports from their varsity roster, the women gymnasts took Brown to court. The students argued that the two women’s teams combined cut $62,000 from the women’s sports budget while the two men’s teams only amounted to a $16,000 detraction from the men’s budget. ... These programs set a deadline for achieving gender equity by creating new women’s teams, elevating others and providing additional funding in a broad spectrum of areas. ...

- www.bigwest.org
- It seems to be a double edge sword, especially in the Los Angeles / Southern California area where there is a large concentration of media outlets that could potentially help to spread the word, but a wide range of competition for the attention of college sports fans. ...
- Commissioner Farrell's Answer: "As I’ve mentioned before, television is the primary marketing tool for the Big West Conference. ... This year we had a total of 27 men’s and women’s basketball games televised as part of the Conference package. ... I see attendance and media coverage for the tournament growing each season to the point where tickets will become a real premium. ...
- Question: What is the process involved in obtaining a TV contract for Big West Basketball? What aspects of the process are controlled by the Big West members/corporate office and what aspects are out of their hands? .
- ESPN has the first option to select men’s basketball games to televise (and has the rights to the Big West Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship Game), followed in order by Fox, KVMD, and CSTV. ... Per the Big West bylaws, the Conference Office owns the television rights to all athletic events in conference championship sports that are hosted by a member institution. If a conference television partner does not pick up an event by a prescribed deadline, institutions have the right to negotiate television coverage for their home games with a local packager. ...
- This year, a total of 27 men’s and women’s basketball games will be televised on one of the conference’s four television partners’ outlets (ESPN, Fox Sports Net, KVMD-TV, and CSTV). The conference’s move to Saturday games was done for two reasons: 1, to hopefully reach a larger television audience; and 2, to avoid the 5:30 p. ... Thursday time slot that proved to be difficult for fans to attend. ...
- Question: Does the conference have any specific plans for adding sports in the future due to the addition of UC Davis? Would the conference consider adding men's, women's waterpolo and men's volleyball due to the number of universities that sponsor these programs? .
- Commissioner Farrell's Answer: "Men's and women's water polo, along with men's volleyball, are being considered for addition as Big West championship sports. ... UC Davis' addition to the conference will give us six women's water polo programs, but only five men's water polo and volleyball teams. Therefore, either a future 10th California member will have to sponsor those sports or we'll have to add an associate member in each sport before we'll create a championship. ...
- "Rules that govern automatic qualification for NCAA championships require a conference to have at least six Division I teams before it can be guaranteed of its champion advancing to the national tournament. ... thus the reason for the Big West's rule. ...

- When the Civil War erupted in April of 1861, Kit Carson resigned his post as federal Indian agent for northern New Mexico and offered to help organize the New Mexico volunteer infantry. Although New Mexico Territory officially allowed slavery, geography and economics made the institution so impractical that there were only a handful of slaves within its boundaries. ...
- Carson's command was divided into two battalions each made up of four companies of the First New Mexico Volunteers, in all some 500 men. ...
- " However, in his battle report he did commend Carson, among other volunteer officers, for his "zeal and energy. ...
- There were no pitched battles and only a few skirmishes, for Carson's principal tactic was to destroy or capture the Navajos' crops and animals. ... Carson was pleased with the work the Utes did for him, but felt some irritation when they went home in the middle of the campaign, having collected what they thought was sufficient booty. ...
- Carson urged Carleton to accept two resignations he was forwarding, "as I do not wish to have any officer in my command who is not contented or willing to put up with as much inconvenience and privations for the success of the expedition as I undergo myself. ...
- General Carleton in October 1865 recommended that Carson be awarded the brevet rank of brigadier-general, "for gallantry in the battle of Valverde, and for distinguished conduct and gallantry in the wars against the Mescalero Apaches and against the Navajo Indians of New Mexico. ...

- A: Ok, several years ago, Rosemary Gartner and I were talking about working on a project together, and we were discussing David Ward's original study of the California Institute for Women, which I'll call CIW, in Frontera, California. That study was done in 1965, and it was the first study anyone had ever done of a women's prison, to try to determine, there was a lot of research at that time on men's prisons, how men do time, how they get along with each other, but nobody had looked at women's. He happened to be at UCLA at that point and studying the men's facility in southern California, and he and his colleague, Gene Kassebaum thought it would be interesting to go up the road, since the women's facility was right there, and see if the same kinds of factors affected the way that women do time and whether they did time differently than men. ... But also because it documented a large prevalence of homosexuality within the prison, which people weren't aware of previously, very different than the homosexuality that occurs in men's prisons. ... You could imagine that over the course of 35, almost 40 years, given the types of changes that have occurred for women in terms of their social roles, their opportunities, that the way they do time today is very different than the way that they have in the past. On the other hand, if you believe Goffman's right, that total institutions exert an effect on individuals, you might expect that it doesn't matter what's happened in society at large, that once you put someone at a total institution, the way they do time is going to be exactly the same. So we went out and did a preliminary visit at the prison, and talked to them about their interest in having us replicate the study, and at that time, people kept talking about the new facilities that had been built in California, that the time Ward and Kassebaum did their research, there was this one and only one prison. ... Subsequently, there are now five prisons in California, the newest having been built in the Central Valley in Chowchilla. CCFW (California Correctional Facility for Women) and across the street, Valley State prison. ... Well, once we visited this new facility, we realized that it would be important not only to do this over time dimension, but also to control for time and look at the effects of very different facilities of how women do time. So, in essence, the study kind of blossomed from an original concern with historical change, to controlling for time and looking at specifically institutional effects and how what some people have called the new penology, has affected women.
- A: It played a big role because we basically started with probably the central theories in penology, one of which is "functionalist theory," from which Goffman was working, that says basically how inmates do time is a function of being in a total institution. An offshoot of that, which is "situational-functionalist perspective," which basically argues that it's not just being in the total institution, but it's the characteristics of the institution. So for example, some institutions are more coercive, and have a worse environment than other institutions, so you'd expect that inmates' behavior would vary according to that. And a third perspective is the "importation model," which says that neither the characteristics of the institution itself, or just being in an institution is important, but it's really what the inmates bring in with them, what their prior experiences have been, whether they've been incarcerated before, what their family life was like, whether they get contact from the outside, those kinds of characteristics they bring in with them will influence how they do time. ...
- A: After going through a lot of the literature, I think we both felt that it depended on whether you were looking at overtime or controlling for time, institutional differences. In other words, we could see hypothesis being more important, the situational one in particular, situational-functionalist, being very important for when we control for time and compare the effects of two different institutions. ...
