| Sumario: | Two top supporters of affirmative action have deserted the hard-line opposition. Nathan Glazer, a professor emeritus of sociology and education at Harvard who fought against affirmative action for over two decades, has switched sides, and Glenn Loury, a professor of economics and Boston University who broke with the neoconservatives a few years ago, has changed his position. Both say that their rethinking was provoked by California's draconian Proposition 209, which bans all affirmative action in the state's public sector by outlawing any consideration of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, contracting, or education.
