UMass professor speaks in favor of affirmative action

Last Monday was an evening for social issues just as much as it was for baseball, when affirmative action supporter Andrew Leong took time out of his professorship at UMass-Boston to speak to a small group of Tufts undergrads. Invited to speak at the Start House, Tufts' Asian American House, Leong's lecture was solicited in order to give students a viewpoint different than that of Christopher Adley, a Harvard Law Professor and former advisor to President Clinton, who is expected to speak against affirmative action on campus during the upcoming Asian-American month.
