Time to end affirmative action? Live with David Bernstein and Kenny Xu

The Supreme Court might end race-based college admissions with upcoming rulings in two cases: one involving Harvard, the other the University of North Carolina, both filed by the non-profit Students for Fair Admissions.

Should universities, and other institutions, take race into account when considering applicants? When considering that question, does it matter that Harvard is a private university, while UNC is a state school? And should the U.S. government abandon racial classification altogether?

Join Reason's Nick Gillespie and Zach Weissmueller this Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern for a live discussion of these questions and more with David Bernstein, a law professor at George Mason University and author of the book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America and Kenny Xu, president of Color Us United, a non-profit "advocating for a race-blind America" and author of An Inconvenient Minority: The Harvard Admissions Case and the Attack on Asian American Excellence.
