Affirmative Action Discussion

College Confidential Community

<p>I am soon going to be writing a paper concerning affirmative action. I was wondering if anyone had ANYTHING to say on the topic, arguments from both sides are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks.</p>

<p>To get things going, Ill throw out that I am against the use of affirmative action in the college application process. I think that merit alone should determine application decisions.</p>
