A Case For Undocumented Students In Higher Education: The Pursuit Of Social Justice In Oregon Senate Bill 742, Clara Martinez

Moreover, the liberal ideas of political philosophers Robert Nozick and Friedrich Hayek present counterarguments to my thesis. Senate Bill 742 could help to rectify the injustice inherent in the college admissions system.
