The mission of the Center for Equal Opportunity is to study, develop, and disseminate ideas that promote colorblind equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in America.

• Conducting studies of racial and ethnic preferences in college admissions;
• Challenging public and private institutions that promote racial and sex preferences;
• Filing legal briefs in federal and state courts to contest the impermissible use of race, sex, and national origin in education, employment, and contracting;
• Influencing public opinion through writing, speaking, and media appearances; and
• Monitoring and advising on government action—at all levels—to ensure proper adherence to colorblind and nondiscriminatory policies.
