Examining the Evidence on Racial Dynamics in Colleges and Universities

Herausgeber: Chang, Mitchell J; Hakuta, Kenji; Jones, James; Witt, Daria

Beschreibung

In recent years American colleges and universities have become the locus of impassioned debates about race-conscious social policies, as conflicting theories clash over the ways to distribute the advantages of higher education in a fair and just manner. Just below the surface of these policy debates lies a complex tangle of ideologies, histories, grievances, and emotions that interfere with a rational analysis of the issues involved. As never before, the need for empirical research on the significance of race in American society seems essential to solving the manifest problems of this highly politicized and emotionally charged aspect of American higher education. >
