A Fellow of the Center for National Policy, Richard D. Kahlenberg argues that affirmative action programs ought to be based not on race but on class. Kahlenberg outlines how a class-based system of affirmative action would work. He shows that it is time to return to affirmative action's roots, so that it works to the benefit of the truly disadvantaged, regardless of race.
