American Council on Education, Washington, DC.
Information on eleven conferences focusing on post-Bakke policy and sponsored by the American Council on Education for administrators of high-demand programs is presented. An introductory report by Todd Furniss ("Professional Education After Bakke") discusses the rationale for the conferences and examines some of the implications for post-Bakke policy. Conference schedules, participants, materials, and summary reports are included for conferences held at Harvard University, University of Michigan, California Institute of Technology, University of North Carolina, Wellesley College, and Northwestern University. The conferences were held between September 1978 and February 1979 throughout the country and emphasized affirmative action in graduate programs in law, education, business, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and medicine. One conference was held on undergraduate programs. Five papers that were specially prepared for the conference are included. These are: "Bakke and Graduate Schools of Business" (Robert M. O'Neil); "Bakke: The Impact on Fellowships" (Robert M. O'Neil); "What Can and Is to Be Done: After Bakke" (Lubosh G. Hale); "The Bakke Decision: The Legal Ramifications" (S. B.
