This bold argument is at the center of Matthew Johnson's powerful and controversial book. Focusing on the University of Michigan, often a key talking point in national debates over racial justice thanks to the controversial Gratz v. Bollinger decided by the Supreme Court in 2003, Johnson argues that UM leaders incorporated black student dissent selectively into the institution's policies, practices, and values. This strategy was used in order to prevent activism from disrupting the institutional priorities that campus leaders deemed more important than racial justice. Despite knowing that racial disparities would likely continue, Johnson demonstrates that these administrators improbably saw themselves as champions of racial equity. What Johnson contends in Undermining Racial Justice, isn't that good intentions resulted in unforeseen negative consequences, but that the people who created and maintained racial disparities at premier institutions of higher education across the United States firmly believed they had good intentions in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. The case of the University of Michigan fits into a broader pattern at elite institutions of higher education and is a cautionary tale for all in higher education. Inclusion has always been a secondary priority and, as a result, the policies of the late 1970s and 1980s ushered in a new and enduring era of racial retrenchment on campuses across the United States. 410 0$aHistories of American education. 606 $aAfrican American college students$xCivil rights$zMichigan$zAnn Arbor 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zMichigan$zAnn Arbor$xAdmission 606 $aRacism in higher education$zMichigan$zAnn Arbor 606 $aAffirmative action programs in education$zMichigan$zAnn Arbor 606 $aDiscrimination in higher education$zMichigan$zAnn Arbor 610 $aaffermative action, diversity, black power, civi. 610 $arights, University of Michigan. 615 0$aAfrican American college students$xCivil rights 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xAdmission. 615 0$aRacism in higher education 615 0$aAffirmative action programs in education 615 0$aDiscrimination in higher education 676 $a378.774/35 700 $aJohnson$b Matthew$0459272 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821541603321 996 $aUndermining racial justice$94074625 997 $aUNINA
