These students sought to further democratize and diversify curriculum and student services through various means of reform. Beginning in 1968 with the Black Student Union’s demands and proposals for sweeping institutional reform, which included the proposal for a School of Black Studies, this research examines how the Black Student Union created a foundation for future activism among students of color in later decades. Coalitions of affinity groups in the 1990s continued this activist work and pressured the university administration and faculty to adopt a more culturally pluralistic curriculum. This essay also includes a brief historical examination of the state of Oregon and the city of Eugene, Oregon, and their well-documented history of racism and exclusion. This brief examination provides necessary historical context and illuminates how the University of Oregon’s sparse policies regarding race reflect the state’s historic lack of diversity. Keywords: multicultural, activism, University of Oregon Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Ryan Patterson.

The participants in this discourse have lodged fundamental (as well as controversial) charges. Most frequently, these critics argue that the enormous cadre of political activists, progressive lawyers and legal theorists engaged in the particulars of challenging social inequality lack even a basic understanding of how the var- ious forms of subordination operate in society because they fail (or refuse) to realize that systems of oppression do not stand in isolation.!

  • Racial Blindsight: the Absurdity of Color-Blind Criminal Justice
    Racial Blindsight: The Absurdity of Color-Blind Criminal Justice * Andrew E. Taslitz In this introductory essay to this symposium, Professor Taslitz argues that the modern criminal justice system is plagued by “racial blindsight.” Analogizing to the physical phenomenon of “blindsight” in which a blind person sees objects but does not know that he sees them, Taslitz maintains that criminal justice system actors often view the world through racial stereotyping or bias but are consciously unaware, or refuse to become aware, of that bias. They see race as a primary guide to thought and action but do not know that they so see the world. Drawing on the too-oft-ignored political writings of Albert Einstein, Taslitz argues that racial blindsight is a particularly morally reprehensible form of self-deception and that persons and institutions are fully capable of removing their blinders. Taslitz identifies a temporal component to racial blindsight, exploring hindsight (ignoring past racial transgressions), foresight (ignoring future foreseeable but avoidable racial harms), and now-sight (ignoring individual and institutional racial biases currently at work), and discusses faux-sight (blatant and obvious efforts to pretend to a non-existent blindness). Taslitz summarizes each of the articles to follow, explaining how they fit within this temporal racial blindsight scheme and what each tells us about how we can open our eyes to promote more candid decisions about race in setting criminal justice policy. I. INTRODUCTION The articles in this Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law symposium address the implications for the criminal justice system of what I will call “racial blindsight.” The term derives from the psychological phenomenon of literal “blindsight,” meaning “seeing without knowing it.”1 English neurologist George Riddoch researched the phenomenon to explain stories of World War I soldiers who were seemingly blinded by head injuries yet dodged bullets.2 All the while 3 the soldiers insisted that they could not see the violence threatening them.
