Affirmative Action for Taiwan’s Indigenous Students
  • 9 months ago
The U.S. Supreme Court has ended affirmative action in the country. Its ruling says university admission policies that take race into account are unconstitutional — and many Taiwanese students seem to agree. Taiwan has its own version called the Indigenous Education Act, but recent scandals in Taiwanese campuses saw students attacking Indigenous classmates for a perceived “unfair advantage.”

On International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, Zoom In Zoom Out speaks with policy researcher Margaret Tu. Tu is a Ph.D student in law at the University of Washington and also of Taiwanese Indigenous heritage. We discuss how these types of policies are both vital and still not enough.
