Northern Arizona University: Affirmative Action’s Convoluted Effects

A federal court says that NAU must pay a hefty sum to a group of white male professors who argued they were discriminated against when the university gave raises to minority and female faculty members in the early 1990s but not to white males.
Opinion Journal writes: “The lawsuit and its outcome are yet another striking illustration of the perils of affirmative action, with its often contorted logic of redress and blame and its tendency to commit exactly the sort of discrimination that it was designed to prevent.”
