• Washington Times (2/9/09) 16 illegals sue Arizona rancher.
My Summary: Sixteen Mexican nationals are suing former sheriff's deputy and now rancher Roger Barnett in federal court for $32 million for violating their civil rights back on March 7, 2004. He owns the 22,000-acre Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Arizona, off Highway 80, and has turned over 12,000 illegals to the Border Patrol since 1998. He accuses the illegals of vandalizing and destroying his property, tearing up water pumps, stealing trucks, destroying fences and gates, killing his calves, and breaking into his home. They accuse him of holding them captive at gunpoint, saying he would shoot anyone trying to escape, and threatening them with his dog. They are being defended by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF).

• Stephan Thernstrom (2/6/09) Staving Off the 'Yellow Peril': The University of California regents attempt to curtail Asian admissions.
In 1995, the regents of the University of California, at the urging of Ward Connerly and Gov. Pete Wilson, voted to bar racial preferences on all nine of the system's campuses. A year later, the state's voters passed Proposition 209, an amendment to the constitution that extended that ban to state and local governments. But today, the regents are expected to approve major changes in admissions policies that represent the most recent of many misguided attempts to circumvent Prop 209.
The move is breathtaking. It will drop the requirement that applicants take two SAT "subject tests"; if the students the school wants tend to do poorly on such tests, then it is best not to know just how poorly. The plan also sharply lowers the academic standards that applicants must meet to be eligible for a "full admissions review." This review is where their distinctive "personal qualities" can be discerned and made to count for more than the weaknesses in their academic performance.
These changes are manifestly driven by the desire to bring in more black and Hispanic students. Remarkably, though, the university's own projections indicate that the plan will do almost nothing to expand black enrollment and will be of very modest benefit to Hispanics. Even more remarkably, the prime beneficiaries of the changes will be non-Hispanic whites, whose share of total enrollments is predicted to rise by 20–30 percent. And the big losers will be Asian Americans, whose numbers will be reduced by 10–20 percent. The net effect will thus be to make the University of California substantially "whiter" than it has been.
428-437 – Should we punish Asians in order to help Hispanics and African-Americans? When is discrimination – in the name of ending discrimination – an immoral policy? Should the UC system mirror the demographics of the state even when it means admitting unqualified students and rejecting qualified students?

• F.I.R.E. (12/22/08), Political Correctness vs. Freedom of Thought - The Keith John Sampson Story.
One of FIRE's most shocking cases in 2008 was that of Keith John Sampson, a student-employee at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) who was found guilty of racial harassment for merely reading the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan during his work breaks. Thanks to FIRE's involvement and the extensive media coverage of the case, the finding against Sampson was eventually overturned and his school record was cleared, but the story behind this incident is still disturbing months later. Filmmaker Andrew Marcus has produced a short documentary on Sampson's case in the hopes of restoring his reputation and bringing to light the incidents of censorship that are all too common on college campuses today.
