Does Wake County have the political will to maintain the current diversity policy?

As noted in today's article, that was one of the issues raised Thursday at the UNC Center for Civil Rights conference on school integration. While Wake was praised repeatedly for its diversity policy, questions were raised about the growing number of schools above the 40 percent F&R goal.

"There might be a slight erosion of political will in the district to maintain diversity," said Sheneka Williams, an assistant professor at the University of Georgia who has co-written a paper on Wake’s diversity policy.
