26. Affirmative Action in College Admissions: Origins, Misconceptions, and the Role of Asian Americans with Professor Janelle Wong (Series Pt. 1)

WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF HOMECOMING!!! The Season 2 opener kicks off an informative two-part series on affirmative action, an extremely relevant topic in the U.S. and the Asian American community. Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard will likely go to the Supreme Court, and decades of precedent for affirmative action policies are at stake. But what is affirmative action? And what has been the role of Asian Americans in affirmative action policies in college admissions?

In part 1 of the series, Janelle Wong, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland and an expert in political attitudes and their relationships with race and religion, joins me to talk about the origins and misconceptions of affirmative action, SFFA v. Harvard, the Yale DOJ lawsuit, and the role of Asian Americans in these cases and policies.

Next week, in part 2, a few student leaders and I will debrief and have a conversation about affirmative action, education equity, and how we’ve navigated (conversations about) college admissions in our own circles.
