West's Education Law Reporter, v51 n4 p1099-1105 Apr 27 1989

In the United States Supreme Court ruling "City of Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co.," six separate opinions were issued by the Justices, indicating that the Court remains divided in the scope, rationale, and implication of its affirmative action decision. This commentary explains the Court's decision and provides some guidance to school districts. (MLF)
