Carl Cohen, professor of philosophy and longtime champion of civil libertie, s has devoted most of his adult life to the University of Michigan. When he discovered how his school, in its wish to increase minority enrolment, was actually practicing a form of racial discrimination - calling it "affirmative action" - he found himself at odds with his longtime colleagues. Here Cohen tells the story of what happened at Michigan, how racial preferences were devised and implemented, and what was at stake in the divisive controversy that ensued.
