Following up on last week's post, Should Law Reviews Take Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation of Authors Into Account When Selecting Articles?:  Pacific Legal Foundation, PLF Seeking Information from Davis and Berkeley:

Last week, a number of friends, colleagues, and outside attorneys emailed me this post
from Josh Blackman.   It seems that both UC Davis and UC Berkeley are
requiring law review authors to disclose their race and sex when
submitting articles for publication.   This raises a number of very
troubling questions:  Why do these two law reviews need to know the race
and sex of submitting authors?  What are they doing with this
information?  Are they granting preferential treatment to individuals
from certain races?  In order to find out the answers to these
questions, I sent Public Records Act requests to both law schools.  Those schools received our requests yesterday.  [UC Davis PRA request; UC Berkeley PRA request.]
