What If There Was No Affirmative Action in College Admissions? A Further Refinement of Our Earlier Calculation.

Cross, Theodore

Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n5 p52-55 Fall 1994

Discusses the consequences to the nation and to Blacks of abolishing affirmative action in college and university admission policies. It examines the impact of abandoning racial preferences on school admissions, particularly as it concerns graduate and medical schools. The author argues that without the use of racial preferences far fewer Blacks would be admitted to higher education. (GLR)
