Grubb, Erica Black (1974). Breaking the Language Barrier: The Right to Bilingual Education. Harvard Civil Rights – Civil Liberties Law Review, v9 n1 p52-94 Jan. This article advances the view that constitutional doctrine now requires schools to provide instruction in the native tongue of non-English-speaking children until they have learned English. It will be argued that equality of educational opportunity, and hence equal protection, does not exist when the instruction provided by the state is incomprehensible to identifiable groups of children, and that to compel attendance under these conditions is a deprivation of liberty without due process of law. Before these two constitutional issues are dealt with in Parts 4 and 5, the factual and legal background of the problem is discussed in Part 1, and the statutory and state constitutional provisions lending support for affirmative judicial action are reviewed in Parts 2 and 3.

Donnor, Jamel K. (2021). Lies, Myths, Stock Stories, and Other Tropes: Understanding Race and Whites' Policy Preferences in Education. Urban Education, v56 n10 p1619-1636 Dec. Despite being academically unqualified for admission to the University of Texas at Austin, Abigail Fisher, a White female, argued that she was not admitted due to the university's diversity policy. In addition to framing postsecondary admissions as a zero-sum phenomenon, Ms. Fisher intentionally frames students of color who are admitted to the University of Texas at Austin as academically unqualified. The purpose of this article is to examine Ms. Fisher's arguments against the University of Texas' diversity policy as presented in "Fisher v. University of Texas" from a critical race theoretical perspective. In addition to obfuscating the fact that admission to the top colleges and universities in the United States has become more competitive, Ms. Fisher's anti-diversity arguments are also consistent with a racial ideology and socially conservative agenda that frames people of color as undeserving of the opportunities traditionally associated with White people. The goal of… [Direct]

Hesser, Phillip, Ed. (2004). "It's Not Rocket Science–It's Much Harder": Racial & Ethnic Diversity in Public Service–Where Do We Go from Here? An AED Public Service Leadership Paper. Academy for Educational Development For people concerned with the future of diversity in the United States, the month of June 2003 was a momentous watershed. Nearly four decades earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson first advocated affirmative action as a means to "seek not just freedom, but opportunity." June 2003 also saw the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on "Regents of the University of California v. Bakke," permitting race to be used as one criterion for admitting a diverse student body in higher education. It was likewise the eve of the seventh anniversary of the refusal of the Supreme Court to review the "Hopwood v. Texas" ruling by the Fifth District U.S. Court of Appeals, questioning educational diversity as a compelling state interest. Most urgently, the Supreme Court was preparing to issue a ruling on two University of Michigan admissions cases in "Gratz et al. v. Bollinger et al." and "Grutter v. Bollinger et al.," addressing whether… [PDF]

Jaramillo, Marianela; Naranjo, David; P√©rez, Cristina; Salazar, Diego; Sanchez, Tarquino; Vidal, Jack (2021). Analysis of Academic Performance Based on Sociograms: A Case Study with Students from At-Risk Groups. Journal of Technology and Science Education, v11 n1 p167-179. The present work analyzes the academic performance of students from at-risk groups from the perspective of Social Network Analysis (SNA), studying the academic and interaction information of 45 students belonging to at-risk groups who attended a pilot socio-academic course during one academic term. This information was used to create a sociogram, which served as the basis for determining the centrality metrics of the SNA. The relationships between these metrics and the academic variables were then studied by means of correlation analysis and linear regression with LASSO standardization. As a preview of the results, it was determined that the academic performance of the students in the pilot course was influenced, on the one hand, by their academic knowledge prior to being admitted to the university, represented by the score on the Mathematics and Geometry section of the diagnostic test, and on the other hand, by the dynamics of the social network in which they interacted in the… [PDF]

Hardy-Fanta, Carol; Watanabe, Paul (1998). Conflict and Convergence: Race, Public Opinion and Political Behavior in Massachusetts. The University of Massachusetts McCormack Institute Poll. An Occasional Paper. The University of Massachusetts McCormack Institute Poll of attitudes and opinions related to the political, economic, and social life of Massachusetts was expanded in 1998 to include a larger sample of minority respondents than in previous years. In 1998, the sample included 127 African Americans, 114 Asian Americans, 107 Latinos, and 381 Whites. The rapidly changing racial and ethnic diversity of Massachusetts was regarded as a "good thing" by a large proportion of all groups. Minority group members were less likely than Whites to think that things were getting better for minorities, and they were more likely to agree that there was a long way to go before minorities (specifically African Americans) have the same chance in life White people have. Thirty-three percent of African Americans, thirty-one percent of Latinos, and twenty-five percent of Asian Americans reported that they had a personal experience with discrimination during the last 3 months. African Americans… [PDF]

Knoell, Dorothy (1990). Transfer, Articulation, and Collaboration: Twenty-Five Years Later. Comparing data from two studies of community college transfer conducted 25 years apart, this report describes policies, programs, regulations, and practices governing relationships between two- and four-year colleges at state, regional, and local levels. The study that led to this report gathered information from 11 states on transfer admission, assessment, remediation, baccalaureate degrees for vocational students, equal opportunity programs, databases, special arrangements to encourage transfer, state incentives, staff preparation and development, and articulation. The 11 chapters of the report focus on: (1) the need for and methods of the current study, the differences between the 1965 and 1989 studies, and the aims and focus of the report; (2) the educational contexts of the early 1960's and the mid-1990's, with comparisons of governance, community college mission, enrollments, admission, remediation, financial aid, affirmative action, and articulation; (3) the major dimensions… [PDF]

Arendale, David (2001). Trends in Developmental Education. This paper contains an overview of policy decisions being made at the state and national levels about learning assistance activities in higher education and developmental education. The principles driving those decisions are also outlined. Some policymakers want to fine the high schools from which under prepared students have graduated; others want to make individual students pay more for developmental education courses. Policymakers in many states believe that the national movement for increased requirements for high school graduation has eliminated or lessened the need for postsecondary academic support and developmental courses. Economic factors are most frequently cited as reasons to reduce or cut developmental course offerings and academic assistance programs, and policy decisions are being driven by some beliefs about developmental education. One such belief is that developmental education is equivalent to affirmative action, a belief that is not true. Nor is it true that… [PDF]

Byrne, Eileen M. (1992). Women in Science and Technology: The Institutional Ecology Approach. Volume I: Final Research Report. This document is the final research report of the University of Queensland Women in Science and Technology in Australia (WISTA) project. The report is a policy review study conducted from 1985 to 1990, of the factors that act as critical filters or positive factors that hinder or help women's access to and progression in certain scientific and technological disciplines. The report draws on a major review of published research, specially collected statistical data, and group interviews with professors, deans, and school heads based on a set of discussion papers dealing with the 10 core factors that provided the central theoretical framework of the WISTA project as a whole. These factors are: (1) same sex role models as a positive influence for women; (2) mentors; (3) image of different branches of science and technology; (4) male and female attitudes toward women in "nontraditional" disciplines; (5) single sex versus coeducation; (6) prerequisites and curricular choice as… [PDF]

Adams, Julie, Ed. (2002). Senate Rostrum: The Newsletter of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, 2002. Senate Rostrum: The Newsletter of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Feb-Oct. The 2002 newsletter of Senate Rostrum contains the February and October issues. The February issue covers the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges' January 2002 hearing on Draft A of the proposed new accreditation standards. Members of the Academic Senate attended the meeting in order to voice their concerns regarding the new standards. Senate President Hoke Simpson's article, "'Ignore Us at Your Peril!' The San Francisco Accreditation Hearing," describes Senate members' objections to the Commission's emphasis on quantifiable outcomes rather than educational quality. In addition, Linda Collins outlines the proposal in "The Proposed Accreditation Standards: A Summary Critique." She argues against the revision's aim to import quality assurance approaches from business, and the continuous monitoring of outcomes rather than assuring adequate educational, fiscal, human, and physical resources. Other articles in the newsletter are: (1) "The… [PDF]

Willis, Susan Marie (1991). Conservative Think Tanks and Higher Education Policy: Selected Public Policy Research Institutes and Their Views on Issues in Higher Education. Online Submission The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to describe four conservative public policy research institutions as organizations in comparison with more traditional policy organizations such as the Brookings Institution, and (2) to examine their views on current issues in higher education in relation to selected national higher education reports. The four conservative \think tanks\ chosen were the Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, the Free Congress Foundation, and the Ethics and Public Policy Center. A review of the literature and related research revealed that no study of this topic had been undertaken previously. Data about the conservative think tanks were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. Telephone interviews with selected individuals were also employed in a very limited way. Ten national higher education reports published between 1980-90, and a survey of articles published in \Change\ magazine during the same period, were examined to discover… [PDF]

Collins, Christopher S.; Mathew, Allan; Paredes-Collins, Kristin (2021). The Ecosystem of Learning: Admission and Diversity in Christian Higher Education. Christian Higher Education, v20 n5 p358-375. The policies, priorities, and productivity of postsecondary admission offices are under a great deal of scrutiny. The current realities range from the pressures of tuition-driven institutions to deliver the majority of the university budget each fall, to more selective institutions wrestling with standards of which applicants to accept amid national scandals such as the well-publicized "varsity blues" (a conspiracy to influence admission decisions at several top U.S. universities that was uncovered in 2019). Historically, institutional guidelines related to the admission and rejection of applicants have maintained a tense relationship with issues related to homogeneity and diversity. Postsecondary institutions in the U.S. were originally developed for the purpose of educating wealthy White men and slowly expanded to include more groups, in principle, even if not manifested in actual enrollment composition. Notably, efforts to diversify have repeatedly put admissions issues… [Direct]

Garces, Liliana M.; Horn, Catherine L.; Marin, Patricia; Miksch, Karen; Yun, John T. (2020). Shaping Educational Policy through the Courts: The Use of Social Science Research in "Amicus" Briefs in "Fisher I". Educational Policy, v34 n3 p449-476 May. Different from more traditional policy-making avenues, the courts provide an antipolitical arena that does not require broad agreement from various constituents for policy enactment. Seeking to guide court decisions on these policy issues, individuals and organizations have filed "amicus" briefs that increasingly include social science to support their arguments. The "Fisher v. University of Texas" at Austin Supreme Court case presents an ideal example to study the use of social science evidence in "amicus" briefs to shape educational policy. Findings from this study identify differences in the use of social science research that suggest many ways in which our current understanding of the efforts of actors to shape educational policy via the highest court in the nation is incomplete. This study also highlights why developing this understanding could be extremely useful to both the creation of educational policy and the use of antipolitical approaches to… [Direct]

Dickman, Howard, Ed. (1993). The Imperiled Academy. This volume analyzes, in nine essays by academics and specialists in history, government, philosophy, law, and public policy, current cultural and intellectual disputes concerning relativism, multiculturalism, and radical feminism at colleges and universities. Following an introduction by the editor, Howard Dickman, "Leviathan U." (Daniel Bonevac) explores the apparent tension between two recent trends at American universities: multiculturalism, which seeks pluralism and diversity, and political correctness which seeks to limit the expression of views. "Tradition and Change: The University Under Stress" (Stanley Rothman) relates changes in higher education to changes in the role of intellectuals and to changes in the character of Western culture. In "The Sources of Political Correctness on American Campuses" Seymour Martin Lipset points out that political correctness is not a new phenomenon and that recent events express a moralism involving a belief in…
