Progress on the admissions bias probe
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Here’s the update on Commission actions yesterday, from insidehighered. I plan to continue writing commentaries on this issue — I have two more about to surface — not because I think this is a critical issue (is this bias any different from favoring minorities or quarterbacks?) but because it appears to be the only way to focus attention on the true issue, which is what’s happening in K-12 schools. I find it difficult to draw attention to what most people consider a messy problem lacking a solution. But tell them their daughter is being discriminated against … all of a sudden I have their attention. Now, if I can only steer that attention in the right direction.
