Talking Civil Rights With Gail Heriot

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is out with a new report this week on Police Use of Force, and you know what that means—another sprightly dissent from commission member Gail Heriot. You can read Gail's take on the report, and how the media misrepresented her views (as usual) here. Gail Heriot is professor of law at the University of San Diego, and has a long track record in the area of civil rights. Steve Hayward sat down with Gail recently to talk through the current state of civil rights, the work of the often politicized U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and how the "mismatch" hypothesis in college admissions has been vindicated, even if the media refuse to admit it.

(Closing bumper music this week is "Find Your Cloud" from Papadosio.)
