Opis

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.

Recenzje

'In this exemplary book, they undertake an earnest, innovative approach to add to our understanding of student and faculty attitudes toward campus composition … The book's impressive contribution owes much to the authors' limited scope … As a methodological exercise, the book surpasses expectation. Methods instructors might well consider including it as an exemplar.' Scott E. Page, Perspectives on Politics
