Fordham Holds Bake Sale in Response to Berkeley’s

Rebecca Ruiz:

In rebuttal to last week’s controversial bake sale protesting affirmative action in college admissions at the University of California, Berkeley, students at Fordham University in New York staged their own sale on Friday.
A Fordham professor of African American Studies, Mark Naison, is leading the charge, mobilizing students in his senior seminar on affirmative action to peddle pastries priced according to research they conducted on various groups’ advantages in admissions.
As Mr. Naison wrote in a piece Thursday on The Huffington Post, the counter-sale reflects “frustration at the misinformation about affirmative action that prevails among large sections of the American public.”
