Schwartz, Howard S. – Academic Questions, 2009
The announcement in June 2007 by Antioch University that it would be closing Antioch College produced a great deal of commentary.

This paper argues that the "pipeline", leading to the production and increase of undergraduate engineering and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) related degrees by underrepresented student populations (which include female and AALANA (African American, Latin American and Native American) students), has become more of a "funnel".…

Horwedel, Dina M. – Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, 2008
As the demographics of the United States change, it is only natural that enrollment in the nation's colleges and universities mirrors these shifts.
