Diversity in Admissions: Objective Analysis Finally?

Have a look at this piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education. I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high too fast, but it suggests that the longstanding omerta about the effects of “diversity” based admissions policies – the kind which girded the Supreme Court’s unfortunate decision in the Grutter case – is finally being discarded.  The piece is admirably even-handed, and acknowledges that some recent research leaves ample room for doubt about the benefits of affirmative action admissions policies.  We’ve got a long way to go, but it’s a vast improvement over the University of Michigan’s in-house Gurin report.
