Critics claim that gender or race consciousness is inherently "reverse discrimination." In the article which follows this and other objections to affirmative action are explored and critiqued.

At least three members of the UC community died in these events; doubtless, there were also friends and relatives of UC faculty, staff, and students whose lives were lost. At its first meeting of the year, the Academic Council observed a moment of silence in memory of all the victims of the September 11 attacks — an observance that has been repeated across UC’s campuses and in the Office of the President. As befits a great institution, UC responded admirably in the days following the attacks. Blood drives were organized on the campuses and faculty and students set up a website for those checking on the fate of loved ones. Most gratifying, perhaps, was the fact that our campuses reported not a single instance of ethnic bigotry connected to the September 11 events. We have some difficult times ahead. At University meetings and in personal conversations, however, it’s possible...

Interwoven within these themes is a case for sexual freedom itself, for men and women. With erudite references to a wide multidisciplinary swath of literature, she succeeds in hammering home these concerns and in demanding that the sociolegal order reform its policies affecting sexuality, reproduction, and definitions of family. In these respects, this is a valuable study of how the United States specifically and other societies referentially fall short of what Christine Littleton calls making sex “cost free.” Cornell's book, which in the subjects and issues it analyzes covers very familiar territory, is intriguing for a very different reason. It is one of a very few works in radical feminist thought that is fundamentally about employing the tenets of classical liberalism, if not libertarianism, in the service of progressive social ch...

Applications frameworks written in native programming languages can export an arbitrary number of library functions to the Delta language. Programs written in Delta are compiled to portable virtual-machine instructions, while applications may encapsulate and call the virtual machine system to load and execute externally attached Delta compiled code units. Such loaded virtual machine instances can be queried on the fly in Delta programs, subsequently employed for cross virtual-machine function calls. The Delta language exhibits dynamic typing not only for typical program variables, but also for object instances, meaning that class types appear always in the form of first-class values called prototypes, enabling instance creation through programmer-defined factory methods. Inheritance is dynamically supported as a runtime function, without any compile-time semantics, while all member function calls are resolved through late binding. Finally, the Delta language provides elements for the imperative programming of polymorphic higher-order functions, such as generic function composers or the map function.
