I will be giving a short talk at the Michigan Journal of Race and Law‘s symposium on affirmative action in Michigan post-Prop. 2 this Saturday. Here are materials for my talk:
Michigan Civil Rights Commission Report — “One Michigan” at the Crossroads: An Assessment of the Impact of Proposal 06-02
MCRC Report Attachment #4 — The Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver is Based on a Political Relationship, not a Racial Classification
Michigan AG Declination to Issue Opinion re: Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver
MSU Indigenous Law & Policy Center Letter to the Michigan Law Review Commission
Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger [Tribal Amicus Brief: GTB, LRB, LTTB, et al.]
MSU Native American Institute, A Descriptive Study of the Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver Program
Fletcher, The Original Understanding of the Political Status of Indian Tribes
I was planning on going to this symposium, but I will not be able to…I will be reading your materials though. I would be interested to know how you feel about aligning afro-descendant and indigenous causes here in the U.S. and in the Americas.
