Several problems regarding the desegregation process can be identified. First, the population shift of urban whites to surrounding suburbs has hindered urban school desegregation and metropolitan desegregation plans have proved politically unsuccessful. Second, the number of black administrators lags far behind the number of black students. In addition, the product of the desegregation process, the desegregated school, shows many deficiencies and is a place where true racial integration has yet to occur. Solutions to the first two problems include metropolitan desegregation and meaningful affirmative action. The teaching profession must act as an effective advocate of these policies. Resolution of the third problem, reforming the desegregated school itself, requires a concerted effort on the part of teachers and administrators to promote positive interracial experiences.
