R. Lawrence Purdy – Academic Questions, 2023
In "Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College ("SFFA")," the United States Supreme Court revisited an issue that had been litigated before it twenty years earlier.

Cole, Eddie R. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2020
College presidents are important administrators who are frequently expected to address the public when racism occurs on college campuses.

On historically White campuses, college presidents'…

Akhtari, Mitra; Bau, Natalie; Laliberté, Jean-William P. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020
Racial affirmative action policies are widespread in college admissions. Yet, evidence on their effects before college is limited. Using four data sets, we study a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that reinstated affirmative action in three states. Using nationwide SAT data for difference-in-differences and synthetic control analyses, we separately…

Yifan Xie – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This dissertation includes three essays on school choice. In Chapter 1 we consider the priority-based affirmative action policy in school choice. We weaken the responsiveness to affirmative action policy by requiring at least one minority student to be weakly better off when their priorities are improved. We find that under both the…

Sailer, John D. – National Association of Scholars, 2022
This report offers analysis of the University of Tennessee's Diversity Action Plans. Every academic college and every Vice-Chancellor Unit on campus issued plans. True to Chancellor Donde Plowman's vision, these colleges and units propose extensive and ideologically-charged reforms. The National Association of Scholars finds in these plans nothing…

Ledesma, María C. – Review of Higher Education, 2019
In the shadow of the Supreme Court's decision to uphold raceconscious policies in "Fisher v. University of Texas" (2016), and midway to Justice O'Connor's 25-year sunset clause in "Grutter v. Bollinger" (2003), affirmative action remains contentious. This qualitative theoretical study posits that we need not speculate about…

Angrist, Joshua D.; Pathak, Parag A.; Zárate, Román Andrés – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2019
The educational mismatch hypothesis asserts that students are hurt by affirmative action policies that place them in selective schools for which they wouldn't otherwise qualify. We evaluate mismatch in Chicago's selective public exam schools, which admit students using neighborhood-based diversity criteria as well as test scores. Regression…

Carnevale, Anthony; Quinn, Michael C. – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2021
Affirmative action critics argue that race-conscious admissions policies are keeping Asian American enrollment numbers unfairly low because Asian American students are held to higher admissions standards than applicants of any other race or ethnicity. "Selective Bias: Asian Americans, Test Scores, and Holistic Admissions" evaluates the…

Soares, Ricardo; Santiago de Mello, Márcia Cristina; Naegele, Rafaela – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In December 2019, the institutional affirmative action "Onde elas estão?" ("Where are they?") was launched for the mitigation of gender inequality in the STEM disciplines in Brazil, coincidentally in the same period which the first reports of the COVID-19 pandemic appeared in the city of Wuhan, China. Unfortunately, when…

In addition, both countries have adjudicated cases centered on the use of affirmative action admissions policies in higher education but with differing results. The constitutional court of Brazil, the Supremo Tribunal Federal, ruled universities could…

Tiffany Marie Okolo – ProQuest LLC, 2020
I conduct a series of analyses aimed at assessing equity in selective American colleges over a 20+ year time frame. My main measures of equity are enrollment and completion in selective colleges, which I disaggregate by race/ethnicity. After creating an institutional-level panel data set with variables on college revenues and expenses, tuition,…
