This puzzles me. It is routine for many colleges and universities, particularly mid-level liberal arts schools, to discriminate against women in admissions. Believing that they have "too many women," these schools refuse admission to female applicants whose academic credentials would have been more than sufficient for a male applicant. Why don't we hear more complaints from feminist organizations? Alison Somin and I wrote about this a few years back in a short essay entitled… [read post]

Efforts to help ex-offenders by making it difficult for employers to find out about a job applicant's criminal record can backfire.Research continues to show that laws prohibiting employers from asking about a job applicant's criminal record may encourage employers to discriminate against young African-American males. Here is the abstract: Jurisdictions across the United States have adopted "ban the box" (BTB) policies preventing employers from asking about job applicants'… [read post]

The final version of my school discipline article (with Alison Somin) is now available on SSRN. It's called The Department of Education's Obama-Era Initiative on Racial Disparities in School Discipline: Wrong For Students and Teachers, Wrong on the Law. As the title suggests, the article makes two arguments: (1) The Obama Administration's aggressive application of disparate impact theory to school discipline, is a bad policy; and (2) It goes beyond the scope of the federal… [read post]

Saturday will be graduation day at UC Davis Law School (as well as many other law schools). Congratulations to all the graduates! I don't know who the Davis graduation speaker will be this year, but forty years ago, it was Justice Stanley Mosk of the California Supreme Court. This raised a hullaballoo. Although students had voted Mosk one of their preferred speakers back in the autumn, he was Public Enemy No. 1 to some students. Calling themselves the "Third World Coalition," a group… [read post]

Most people who know about the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first civil rights bill since Reconstruction, know about the role played by Eisenhower and his Attorney General Herbert Brownell. During his 1956 State of the Union Address, Eisenhower had called for the creation of a civil rights commission, and Brownell's Department of Justice had drafted the original version of the bill. There were other important players too--Senators Barry Goldwater, Hubert Humphrey, Jacob Javits and William… [read post]

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is holding a hearing on hate crimes on Friday. (And yes, of course, your input is desired. More info here.) I opposed the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act back in 2009. I wrote about some of the reasons in a short essay entitled Lights! Camera! Legislation!: Congress Set to Adopt Hate Crimes Bill That May Put Double Jeopardy Protections in Jeopardy before it passed. Here's part of the abstract to that article: … [read post]

An article in Foreign Policy, entitled The Right to Kill: Should Brazil Keep Its Amazon Tribes from Taking the Lives of Their Children?, states: The Kamayurá are among a handful of indigenous peoples in Brazil known to engage in infanticide and the selective killing of older children. Those targeted include the disabled, the children of single mothers, and twins—whom some tribes, including the Kamayurá, see as bad omens.
