Abstract	This article features Moises Salinas, an assistant professor at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) who addresses the place of stereotypes in education, and describes how Salinas investigates root causes of stereotyping and its consequences in minority education. According to him, affirmative action policies of past decades have attempted to level the playing field for minorities in education and the work force but these efforts have not been enough to bring equality to the people. In his book, "The Politics of Stereotype: Affirmative Action and Psychology," Salinas supports affirmative action policies, but says "to be more effective, there need to be more proactive measures that attempt to solve the basic inequalities in the society." Despite affirmative action policies having led to particular stereotyping of minority students, he said that behind the law was an effort to level the playing field and make sure that people from different parts of society are fully represented in an educated work force.
