After years of widely acknowledging race discrimination in
higher education, American government leaders, college and
university officials, and at-large citizens today question the need
for civil rights laws and policies. Within an important sector of
the public higher education community -- roughly nineteen states
that used to operate laws separating students by race -- dispute
focuses upon systemwide Title VI enforcement. Two interpretations
of Title VI enforcement coexist. Among conservatives, absence of
continuing discrimination and continuing good faith effort signal
an end to the need for government enforcement. Among more liberal
stakeholders, past enforcement has been weakly undertaken despite
past and currently increasing evidence of continued
discrimination.
Closely reviewing evidence of past and current enforcement,
Williams presents a reinterpretation: Considerable evidence of
continued discrimination exists, but weak design and limited
implementation provides an incomplete picture of past and current
enforcement. Weak federal enforcement establishes a context for
previously unrecognized unofficial state responses, and unofficial
responses display important elements of a generic race relations
ritual first chronicled in largely forgotten humanities and
sociological literature from the 1960s. An important study for
scholars, students, researchers, and policymakers of contemporary
American education and race relations.
