Campus Diversity

The Hidden Consensus

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Media, politicians, and the courts portray college campuses as divided over diversity and affirmative action. But what do students and faculty really think? Deploying a novel technique to elicit honest opinions, this book finds far more consensus than division, revealing broad support for decisions that favor traditionally underrepresented groups.
