UC Merced said Faye J. Crosby, a social psychologist and expert on affirmative action, is the recipient of this year's Alice and Clifford Spendlove Prize in Social Justice, Diplomacy and Tolerance. The university will give the prize to Crosby during her public lecture on Nov. 20.
A UC Santa Cruz professor since 1997, Crosby investigates the foundation of people's reactions to affirmative action. Her most recent books include "Affirmative Action Is Dead: Long Live Affirmative Action" and "Sex Discrimination in the Workplace."
A Merced native, Sherrie Spendlove established the award in honor of her parents, Clifford and Alice Spendlove, to recognize individuals who exemplify the delivery of social justice, diplomacy and tolerance in local and global society.
