As we know Affirmative Action affects everyone. We have discussed some harms and barriers to a Affirmative Action. But I am going to bring fourth to you a solution.

We need to look at Affirmative Action from a different standpoint, Affirmative Action needs to be mended, not just thrown out completely.

Reforming Affirmative Action so that college admissions is based more on merit and socio/economics rather than race.

College admissions should not base admission on race, we feel that it should be taken off the application entirely.

The admission process should be based on socio/economic standards and merit. College admissions could use a admission process based on promoting diversity, by favoring students in admission from lower/socioeconomic backgrounds, failing school districts, or a from urban areas. This is because a huge disproportional number of minorities fall into these categories.

By working to promote diversity without using race, college admissions can maintain there diversity without having whites feel that they are being abused with “reverse discrimination.”

This intern gives will qualified racial and ethnic minorities the power to be free of accusations that they only gained admission because of there skin color.

There needs to be a clean playing field so that minorities and whites have the ability to gain access to college and this starts in reforming k-12 education.

Simultaneously the federal, state, and local governments need to reform K-12 education, because in low income neighborhoods kids are not are not getting the proper education for college admission.

Reforming K-12 education, so that all kids have a chance to take the prerequisites to gain access s to college is extremely important. It gives these kids a level playing field so that they can compete with more privileged kids.

A solution to reforming education is diversify the school districts and different schools. So that not only high income neighborhoods receive a quality education.

More money needs to be pumped into our schools at a younger age so that kids are able to get a leg up when they are younger, rather than giving that leg up when they are not as qualified.

Ultimately the colleges will see more diversity on their campuses if they use these solutions.
