Josh Goodman '12 blogs about race and affirmative action in The Huffington Post

Senior Josh Goodman has written an opinion piece about the role of race in college admissions in today’s edition of The Huffington Post.

Goodman is a senior psychology major and race and ethnic studies minor. In addition to his research on the relationship between LGBT stigma and mental health outcomes, he’s the web content editor for The Pioneer.

Examining the difficulty of using race as a determining factor for college admissions, Goodman writes that this country needs “a system that takes into account how race affects one's life: how it intersects with class and opportunity, and how prejudice and discrimination affect individuals' achievement. If we strive toward such a system, colleges can consider racial inequalities without making decisions based upon race in and of itself.”
