ABSTRACT:
The following dialog on the proper roles of government and universities in meeting a vexing social challenge grew out of an evening of wine and cordial disagreement between two friends with different backgrounds and perspectives. The problem: How does the nation provide equal educational opportunity in an ethnically diverse democracy with both a troubled history of racial injustice and a constitutional commitment to individual freedom. Readers are invited to decide for themselves how justice can be found.
