In the courts and in referenda campaigns, affirmative
action in college admissions is under full-scale attack. Though
it was designed to help resolve a variety of serious racial problems,
affirmative action's survival may turn on just one question--whether
or not the educational value of diversity is sufficiently compelling
to justify consideration of race as a factor in deciding whom to
admit to colleges and universities. Diversity Challenged is
designed to address that question.
This book explores what is known about how increasing
minority enrollment changes and enriches the educational process.
In chapter after chapter, researchers and policymakers discuss substantial
developing evidence showing that diversity of students can and usually
does produce a broader educational experience, both in traditional
learning and in preparing for jobs, professions, and effective citizenship
in a multiracial democracy. The evidence also suggests that such
benefits can be significantly increased by appropriate leadership
and support on campus. Diversity may be challenged on college campuses
today, but the research and evidence in this book shows how diversity
works.
