The shape of the river : long-term consequences of considering race in college and university admissions / by Bowen, William G.(CARDINAL)130806; Bok, Derek Curtis.(CARDINAL)131446; Shulman, James Lawrence,1965-(CARDINAL)644980;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 451-459) and index.Historical context -- The admissions process and "race-neutrality" -- Academic outcomes -- Advanced study : graduate and professional degrees -- Employment, earnings, and job satisfaction -- Civic participation and satisfaction with life -- Looking back : views of college -- Diversity : perceptions and realities -- Informing the debate -- Summing up -- Appendix A. The college and beyond database -- Appendix B. Notes on methodology -- Appendix C. Earnings in relation to advanced degrees, sector of employment, and occupation -- Appendix D. Additional tables.Across the country, in courts, classrooms, and the media, Americans are deeply divided over the use of race in admitting students to universities. Yet until now the debate over race and admissions has consisted mainly of clashing opinions, uninformed by hard evidence. This work, written by two of the country's most respected academic leaders, intends to change that. It brings a wealth of empirical evidence to bear on how race-sensitive admissions policies actually work and what effects they have on students of different races.

An inconvenient minority : the attack on Asian American excellence and the fight for meritocracy / by Xu, Kenny,author.; Lindsay, James A.,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 242) and index.Foreword: Within our many, an inconvenient one by James Lindsay -- Preface -- A broken meritocracy -- Harvard is rotting -- The truth about Asian stereotypes -- Diversity and exclusion -- Shut up about the test -- The rules are changing -- Afterword: Model minority."Even in the midst of a nationwide surge of bias and incidents against them, Asians from coast to coast have quietly assumed mastery of the nation's technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers. Yet, they've been forced to do so in the face of policy proposals-written in the name of diversity-excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite. Going beyond the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case, Xu unearths the skewed logic rippling countrywide, from Mayor Bill de Blasio's attempted makeover of New York City's Specialized School programs to the battle over "diversity" quotas in Google's and Facebook's progressive epicenters, to the rise of Asian American activism in response to unfair perceptions and admission practices.In An Inconvenient Minority, journalist Kenny Xu traces elite America's longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them. Leftist agendas, such as eliminating standardized testing, doling out racial advantages to "preferred" minorities, and lumping Asians into "privileged" categories despite their deprived historical experiences have spurred Asian Americans to act. Asian Americans' time is now, as they increase their direct action and amplify their voices in the face of mounting anti-Asian attacks. An Inconvenient Minority chronicles the political and economic repression and renaissance of a long ignored racial identity group-and how they are central to reversing America's cultural decline and preserving the dynamism of the free world." -- Amazon.com.

But since 1981, the Gerbert-Hart Library and Archives has been collecting records of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identified individuals and organizations. In this book, legendary scholar John D'Emilio draws on those archives to illuminate the scope of people and groups that literally made history. These include publishers, lawyers, athletes, artists, performers, transvestites, bisexuals, and Latinx organizers, to name a few overlapping constituencies. They also include institutions like Dignity, long the primary organization giving voice to LGBTQ Catholics, as well as the Gay Academic Union. In that last case, D'Emilio takes the first steps toward a full history of how scholarly research, writing, and teaching developed and how a visible LGBTQ presence became institutionalized in American higher education. D'Emilio's casual and enthusiastic essays range from politics to culture, from social life to institutions. And though the milieu is Chicago, many of the essays reach beyond to illuminate national events. Overall, this is a kaleidoscopic look at the diverse flavors of organizing and community-making that have been pursued by gay men and women over the decades"--

Young, gifted and diverse : origins of the new Black elite / by Charles, Camille Zubrinsky,1965-author.; Kramer, Rory,1981-author.; Massey, Douglas S.,author.(CARDINAL)188643; Torres, Kimberly C.,1975-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Black diversity in historical perspective -- Origins of the new black elite -- Experiences of segregation -- Identities and attitudes -- Pathways to elite education -- Campus social experiences -- Downsides of upward mobility -- Emerging elite identities -- Leaks in the pipeline -- Expanding intersectionality -- Appendix A: Estimates of multivariate models showing independent effects of dimensions of diversity on collegiate outcomes -- Appendix B: In-depth interviewees and their background characteristics -- Appendix C: Guide used for semi-structured in-depth interviews -- Appendix D: Focus group conversation guide."Contemporary research on Black Americans has focused mainly on the plight of the poor and paid little attention to internal variation and status differentiation in the broader Black community. In Divergent Currents, the authors explore the backgrounds and experiences of an understudied subset of the Black population in the U.S.: the Black Elite. Although the descendants of enslaved Africans, the children of immigrants, and the offspring of intermarried parents have all contributed to the great diversityof the new Black elite, its otherwise heterogeneous members generally share one trait in common: the possession of a college degree, often from a very selective institution. Given that a college education is essential for advancement in today's globalized, knowledge-based economy, the college campus is now the crucible for elite class formation, no less for Blacks than other social groups. The authors draw on a unique source of data to study the new Black elite in the process of formation at 28 selectiveinstitutions of higher education. The baseline survey gathered comprehensive data on subjects' social origins, including detailed information about the family, school, and neighborhoods they inhabited at ages 6, 13, and as seniors in high school, as wellas data on their personal perceptions, values, aspirations, and attitudes. This survey data is paired with 78 in-depth interviews with Black undergraduates at two competitive institutions and eleven focus group sessions with 75 students at an Ivy League university. The authors identify and explore seven dimensions of Black diversity (racial identification, skin tone, nativity, generation, region of origin, gender, social class, and prior experiences of segregation). They ultimately aim to understand how intraracial diversity complicates traditional notions of race, class, and social mobility in the new Black professional class"--

Warren."Illuminating the struggles and triumphs of the emerging educational justice movement, this anthology tells the stories of how black and brown parents, students, educators, and their allies are fighting back against systemic inequities and the mistreatment of children of color in low-income communities. It offers a social justice alternative to the corporate reform movement that seeks to privatize public education through expanding charter schools and voucher programs. To address the systemic racism in our education system and in the broader society, the contributors argue that what is needed is a movement led by those most affected by injustice--students of color and their parents--that builds alliances across sectors and with other social justice movements addressing immigration, LGBTQ rights, labor rights, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Representing a diverse range of social justice organizations from across the US, including the Chicago Teachers Union and the Genders and Sexualities Alliance Network, the essayists recount their journeys to movement building and offer practical organizing strategies and community-based alternatives to traditional education reform and privatization schemes. Lift Us Up! will outrage, inform, and mobilize parents, educators, and concerned citizens about what is wrong in American schools today and how activists are fighting for and achieving change." -- Publisher's description"This book features the stories and voices of parents, young people, community organizers and educators describing how they are fighting systemic racism in schools by building a new educational justice movement committed to community-based, high quality, humane and empowering education for all young people"--

Get real and get in : how to get into the college of your dreams by being your authentic self / by Legatt, Aviva,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: The impressiveness paradox -- Choosing your dream college. Who am I? ; What do I want? ; Dare to dream ; Break the family mold ; Know your needs ; Trust your gut ; It's who you know (and who knows you) ; Go big or go home ; When the dream isn't so dreamy -- College and beyond. Don't take no for an answer ; Be open to the new ; Chart your own path ; Turn lemons into lemonade ; Look back to look forward -- Conclusion: College is just the beginning."An insider's college admissions guide that teaches students to identify and harness their unique passions, stand out from the crowd, and achieve their dreams. Getting into the right college has never been tougher. Competitive programs are admitting fewer and fewer students each year, while the Common Application has made it easy to apply to 30-40 schools in a single admissions cycle. Gen Y and Z workers are having trouble finding rewarding careers after graduating, and in the wake of the college admissions scandal, many are questioning if an ethical pathway into top-tier schools even exists. The struggle is real. Yet most college applicants still follow the traditional wisdom on getting in, like "have a perfect SAT score" or "become the president of ten clubs." Dr. Aviva Legatt has spent her career in higher education as a professor, counselor, and admissions officer in the Ivy League, and she wants to let students in on a secret: admissions boards are sick of seeing the same cookie-cutter applications. What were once considered best practices for "doing high school right" are now so commonplace that they have become a liability. Get Real and Get In rejects these obsolete methods, teaching readers to think outside of the box and focus on what admissions officers are really looking for-young people who dare to be their most authentic selves. Through engaging, accessible, and empathetic prose, this book forms an inspirational roadmap for readers to uncover their true passions and leverage them to create applications that truly stand out from the crowd. It also features a variety of useful exercises and candid stories from many influential figures from diverse backgrounds and careers, which teach students to look beyond just getting into a "good" college and focus more actively on identifying and attaining their long-range goals. Get Real and Get In is designed to ignite an essential mindset shift in students: stop trying to just "get in" and start figuring out exactly what you want from life and how to get it. Stop managing the impressions you make on admissions officers and start defying impressions. This is an essential guide to cutting through the noise of the admissions process and gaining the confidence to forge one's own path to success-in college and beyond"--
