Campus Diversity - John M Carey

. .

Résumé :
Media, politicians, and the courts portray college campuses as divided over diversity and affirmative action. But what do students and faculty really think? Deploying a novel technique to elicit honest opinions, this book finds far more consensus than division, revealing broad support for decisions that favor traditionally underrepresented groups.
