Book Description
The Commission's recent eligibility study showed that university eligibility rates for African American and Latino high school graduates increased substantially between 1996 and 2003. Although this is welcome news, eligibility rates do not tell the full story about access to a university education. Because a lower proportion of African American and Latino ninth-graders complete high school and graduate, the gap in access to a university education is wider than indicated by eligibility rates based on high school graduates. The eligibility gap is particularly wide for male students. Despite recent gains, eligibility rates for African Americans and Latinos are well below the rates for Whites and Asians. Only about 6 percent of African Americans and Latino high school graduates are eligible for the University of California, compared with 16 percent of White graduates and 31 percent of Asian graduates. Eligibility rates are defined as the percentage of California public high school graduates meeting the minimum requirements for admission to the University of California and the California State University. (Contains 3 graphs.).

Ending Racial Preferences
Author: Carol M. Allen
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739138294
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
In 2006, Michigan voters banned affirmative action preferences in public contracting, education, and employment. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI) vote was preceded by years of campaigning, legal maneuvers, media coverage, and public debate. Ending Racial Preferences: The Michigan Story relates what happened from the vantage point of Toward A Fair Michigan (TAFM), a nonprofit organization that provided a civic forum for the discussion of preferences. The book offers a timely 'inside look' into how TAFM fostered dialogue by emphasizing education over indoctrination, reason over rhetoric, and civil debate over protest. Ending Racial Preferences opens with a review of the campaigns for and against similar initiatives in California, Florida, Washington, and the city of Houston. The book then delivers an in-depth historical account of the MCRIDfrom its inception in 2003 through the first year following its passage in 2006. Readers are invited to decide for themselves whether affirmative action preferences are good for America. Carol M. Allen reproduces the remarks delivered at a TAFM debate, along with a compilation of pro and con responses by 14 experts to 50 questions about preferences. This book will be of interest to those working in the fields of public policy and state politics.
