Update: Diversity in Higher Education
FIRST:
This article in The Chronicle today gives an brief, narrative overview of diversity at UC in the past 10 years.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-day UCB campus event on March 3, 2005 "Diversity In Action" RSVP to iwan@berkeley.edu.
SECOND:
New data refuting Richard Sander's study in the Stanfurd Law Review, in which he argues that affirmative action decreases the number of African American attorneys nationwide.
Equal Justice Society's research page says "... available data on law school admissions, law school performance, and bar exam performance indicate that sanders article is premised upon a series of statistical errors, oversights, and implausible assumptions. We conclude that if affirmative action in law school admissions were eliminated tomorrow, there would probably be a 30-40 percent decline in the numbers of African Americans entering the legal profession, not the rosy 7.9 percent improvement that Sander forecasts." Read it for yourself here.
