| Albert Vetere Lannon - Affirmative action programs are not unique to women and African Americans. White males are beneficiaries of many types of special programs, including programs that make exceptions to strict meritocracy. Albert Vetere Lannon lives in San Francisco. He writes: "The fact is that we older white men are beneficiaries of affirmative action. I'm a tenured teacher now, but seven years ago, I was a high school dropout. I entered San Francisco State University at age 50 through the re-entry program, a form of affirmative action. I graduated with honors and am working on a master's degree in history.”
"Affirmative action benefited me directly, and I am now able to give something back to the society that gave me a hand."
