Bowman, Nicholas; Denson, Nida; Eagan, Kevin; Park, Julie (2019). Race and Class beyond Enrollment: The Link between Socioeconomic Diversity and Cross-Racial Interaction. Journal of Higher Education, v90 n5 p665-689. Colleges increasingly emphasize the importance of socioeconomic diversity, but little work examines the link between such diversity and outcomes important to the campus climate. Using a national dataset, we test the link between two measures of socioeconomic diversity and cross-racial interaction, an outcome paramount to triggering the benefits of diversity. Findings indicate that there was no direct effect associated with this form of socioeconomic diversity. However, cross-racial interaction was lowest at institutions with lower structural income diversity and lower structural racial diversity. Comparison of predictors between income groups also identify that middle and upper-income Black students have significantly higher rates of cross-racial interaction. Implications for policymakers and educators are discussed…. [Direct]

Hough, Heather J.; Marsh, Julie A.; Plank, David; Polikof, Morgan S. (2019). Californians and Public Education: Views from the 2019 PACE/USC Rossier Poll. Policy Analysis for California Education, PACE With a new Governor, State Superintendent, and Legislators in Sacramento and a diminished federal role in education, there is an opportunity for California's leaders to take stock of recent educational reforms and make necessary improvements. Several high-profile reforms over the past few years, including the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the California School Dashboard, have meaningfully reshaped California public education. Recently, a research project involving over 100 researchers across the state and the nation, showed that these reforms have resulted in improvements, but that many changes are still needed to address persistent achievement gaps. This report presents findings from a state-representative poll of California registered voters on an array of education policy issues. The poll was led by researchers at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education and Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) and was conducted by Tulchin Research…. [PDF]

Sabharwal, Nidhi Sadana (2020). Caste Relations in Student Diversity: Thinking through Dr Ambedkar's Perspective towards a Civic Learning Approach in Higher Education. International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, v19 n1 p30-43. The chairman of the drafting committee of the modern Indian Constitution, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, emphasized that education cultivates democracy in society, strengthens the roots of democracy, and brings about social transformation. The social transformation includes a way of life that will promote liberty, equality, and fraternity, which are Dr Ambedkar's "key elements of an ideal society". This paper discusses the implications for higher education campuses for achieving an ideal society in light of the emerging evidence on peer group formation around identities and issues of discrimination associated with caste in the context of increasing student diversity. The paper also emphasizes the important role of a civic-learning approach to higher education; meaning an active engagement with values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. There is a shared belief that higher education has a great potential to be a social laboratory for civic learning and to inculcate democratic… [PDF]

Richards, Meredith P. (2017). Gerrymandering Educational Opportunity: The Extent to which School Boundaries Foster or Hinder Efforts at Enhancing School Diversity Depends on the Motivation and Political Will of District Leadership. Phi Delta Kappan, v99 n3 p65-70 Nov. "Gerrymandering" is known best as a tool to manipulate boundaries for voting districts, but school districts have long used the same tool to manipulate school boundaries. The author used geospatial techniques–mapping various kinds of demographic data onto school boundaries–to examine public school attendance zones and their effect on students. The author's research yielded several key insights. Like congressional districts, school zones are highly gerrymandered; the gerrymandering of school zones serves to worsen the already severe racial segregation of public schools, but affirmative gerrymandering can effectively increase diversity and reduce racial segregation….

Reimers, Fernando, Ed. (2000). Unequal Schools, Unequal Chances: The Challenges to Equal Opportunity in the Americas. The David Rockefeller Center Series on Latin American Studies. This book aims to unveil some of the intricacies and paradoxes in the links among education, poverty, and inequality in the Americas by offering a current account of the status of educational opportunities for low-income groups. The goal is to offer various frameworks to conceptualize the dynamics of educational inequality at the micro-level and to discuss, based on empirical evidence, the short- and long-term impact of various policy efforts aimed at expanding the learning opportunities of poor children. The book covers Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the United States, with two chapters on Latin America as a region. Analyses frequently point out the particular disadvantagement of rural and indigenous children. Chapters are: (1) "What Can We Learn from Studying Educational Opportunity in the Americas and Why Should We Care?" (Fernando Reimers); (2) "Perspectives in the Study of Educational Opportunity" (Fernando Reimers); (3) "Excellence,…

Temkin, Larry S. (2016). The Many Faces of Equal Opportunity. Theory and Research in Education, v14 n3 p255-276 Nov. The ideal of equality of opportunity plays an important role in contemporary social and political discourse, and it is one of the few ideals which most people, across the political spectrum, accept. In this article, I argue that the seemingly widespread agreement about the value of equal opportunity is more apparent than real. I distinguish between relatively narrow principles of equal opportunity that focus on certain social, political, and legal benefits; the equal opportunity merit principle; and wide principles of equal opportunity that focus on any goods or benefits that impact the quality of a person's life. In doing this, I aim to illuminate the intuitive and philosophical underpinnings that these approaches provide to equal opportunity and explore their various strengths, weaknesses, and implications. I also note that questions analogous to those raised about the value of equality can be raised about the value of equal opportunity. In particular, one might wonder whether one… [Direct]

Dymski, Gary A. (2017). The Challenge of Creating a More Diverse Economics: Lessons from the UCR Minority Pipeline Project. Race, Ethnicity and Education, v20 n3 p385-400. This paper reflects on the experience of the 1999-2002 minority pipeline program (MPP) at the University of California, Riverside. With support from the American Economic Association, the MPP identified students of color interested in economics, let them explore economic issues affecting minority communities, and encouraged them to consider postgraduate work in economics. The MPP's successes and failures can be traced to the shifting balance in California's racialized political economy, especially a state ballot initiative forbidding the use of applicant race or ethnicity in University of California admission decisions, and to the transformation of economics itself, especially at the level of doctoral training. The MPP experience may be of relevance for other efforts to increase racial/ethnic diversity in social science disciplines.

This article aims to assess whether differences in teacher characteristics vary with differences in socioeconomic compositions of schools. We conducted correlation analyses on administrative data from the French-speaking education system in Belgium. This database regroups more than 20,000 teachers in 1,630 elementary schools. We selected indicators to measure the link between schools' socioeconomic composition and a set of dimensions of teachers' profile such as experience, job security, and stability. The results confirm that some of these dimensions are linked to the school composition. The findings highlight the relevance of considering segmentation of the school market when studying the topic….

Espinosa, Lorelle; Gaertner, Matthew Newman; Orfield, Gary A. (2016). A Dream Undone? Higher Education Access in a Shifting Legal Landscape. AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Washington, DC, Apr 8-12, 2016). This paper examines diversity strategies at selective universities across the U.S., with a particular focus on the effects of legal challenges to race-conscious admissions. Study findings are based on responses to a first-of-its-kind national survey of undergraduate admissions and enrollment management leaders administered in fall 2014. The data include 338 nonprofit four-year institutions that collectively enrolled 2.7 million students and fielded over 3 million applications for admission in 2013-14. This paper focuses on the most widely used and effective diversity strategies, changes in admissions factors after the U.S. Supreme Court's 2013 ruling in "Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin," and the most sought after diversity research and guidance in light of the turbulent legal and political landscape. This work is especially timely in light of the Supreme Court's June 2015 decision to reexamine race-conscious admissions in "Fisher."… [Direct]

Sandler, Bernice R. (1989). The Restoration of Title IX: Implications for Higher Education. This booklet helps institutions understand the restoration of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and changes resulting from the Civil Rights Restoration Act. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs. A 1984 ruling held that Title IX covers only programs or activities funded with federal money. In March 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act ensured that Title IX applies to the entire institution regardless of where federal funds are used. Sections focus on the following: which institutions are covered; exemptions (admissions, military school, and religious); affirmative remedial action; discrimination; how to treat students (admissions, recruitment, housing/facilities, courses, educational activities, counseling, financial aid, employment aid, health and insurance benefits, abortion, marital or prenatal status, athletics, textbooks and curricular materials, sexual and peer harassment, and sexual assault, abuse, and rape); how to treat… [PDF]

(2021). Shut Out: The Need to Increase Access to the University of California and the California State University. Campaign for College Opportunity The value of a college degree continues to rise. A bachelor's degree in particular provides unrivaled economic and health benefits not just for the individual earning the degree, but for the entire state. Therefore, it is not surprising to see growing demand for a college education coupled with growing eligibility for California's public universities among high school students striving to attend. Unfortunately, students are being met by an increasingly competitive admissions environment and universities have responded to the growing number of applicants by raising the bar for admissions, especially as state funding to expand capacity fails to adequately fund every eligible student. While California's vision for higher education in the 1960s was revolutionary for its time, the state is in dire need of a new roadmap and vision that intentionally ensures greater access to the University of California (UC), and the California State University (CSU) for eligible students, intentionally… [PDF]

McCowan, Tristan (2017). Higher Education, Unbundling, and the End of the University as We Know It. Oxford Review of Education, v43 n6 p733-748. Unbundling is the process through which products previously sold together are separated into their constituent parts. In higher education, this dynamic has been driven primarily by financial motivations, and spearheaded by the for-profit sector, but also has pedagogical motivations through its emphasis on personalisation and employability. This article presents a theoretical analysis of the trend, proposing new conceptual tools with which to map the normative implications. While appearing to offer the prospect of financial viability and increased relevance, unbundling presents some worrying signs for universities: first, the removal of possible synergies between teaching and research, and between different modes of learning; second, the undermining of the ability of institutions to promote the public good and ensure equality of opportunity; and third, the threat of hyperporosity to the conducting of basic research with long-term benefits….

Braddock, Jomills H.; Mikulyuk, Ashley B. (2018). K-12 School Diversity and Social Cohesion: Evidence in Support of a Compelling State Interest. Education and Urban Society, v50 n1 p5-37 Jan. Despite existing research that demonstrates the benefits of racial diversity in education, the Court has become increasingly disinclined to allow the use of race or ethnicity in education policy targeted to increase race/ethnic diversity, absent a compelling state interest. The debate over the merits of educational diversity has almost exclusively focused on individual-level outcomes, ignoring consequences for society at large. We argue that this restricted conception of the goals of diversity may limit our understanding of how diverse learning opportunities represent compelling societal interests. Using macro-level data of 29 U.S. metropolitan areas, we examine the societal impact of K-12 diversity on an important societal attribute, intergroup social cohesion. This research has the potential to inform education policy and judicial sentiment about diversity as a compelling state interest in an increasingly diverse society…. [Direct]

Ma, Yingyi; Wang, Lifang (2016). Fairness in Admission: Voices from Rural Chinese Female Students in Selective Universities in Chinese Mainland. Frontiers of Education in China, v11 n1 p44-73. As the Chinese mainland has transitioned from elite to mass higher education, the race to attend university has escalated to become a race to attend selective universities. This study focuses on rural female university students and explores how they make sense of their higher education admission experiences. We rationalize that the inquiry into fairness is crystallized through examining rural female students' voices, which remain largely marginalized from the literature. Drawing from in-depth interviews with 22 rural female undergraduates from five selective universities in northern China, we focus on their perspectives towards three key issues in higher education admission: entrance exams, region-based quotas that put them at distinct disadvantages, and new reform initiatives….

A Comprehensive and Practical Approach to Policy Guidance: The Office for Civil Rights' Role in Education during the Obama Administration. Educational Researcher, v48 n1 p51-60 Jan-Feb. As the federal entity in charge of enforcing civil rights law, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) plays a critical role in addressing the vast inequities that exist in U.S. education. Through an analysis of the policy guidance OCR issued for a number of areas during the Obama administration, we illustrate the agency's comprehensive and practical approach to helping ensure that young people from different backgrounds have equitable access to education and equitable experiences once enrolled. This review provides the foundation for understanding civil rights enforcement in the current context of inequality; it is particularly timely, as the Trump administration has begun a rollback of existing guidance, which has concerning implications for students' civil rights….

Although the U.S. Supreme Court firmly held in "Grutter v. Bollinger" that race can be considered among many factors in admitting students, the recent decision in "Fisher" has posed many questions and challenges for institutions of higher education. It is clear that the Supreme Court has made it more challenging for institutions to advance institutional diversity. This article examines the ruling in "Fisher" and how it impacts admissions in K-16 education…. [Direct]

Kaufman, Michael J. (2019). Badges and Incidents: A Transdisciplinary History of the Right to Education in America. Cambridge Studies on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Cambridge University Press In "Badges and Incidents," Michael J. Kaufman undertakes an interdisciplinary investigation of American education law and pedagogy. By weaving together the invaluable insights of law, education, history, political science, economics, psychology, and neuroscience, this book illuminates the ways in which the design of the American educational system does not reflect how human beings live and learn. It examines the principles of the nation's Founders and demonstrates how a distorted presentation of the Founders' views curtailed the development of a truly democratic educational system. The influence of this distortion on several critical Supreme Court decisions is exposed, and these decisions have largely failed to facilitate the educational system the Founders envisioned. By placing contemporary challenges in context and endorsing social constructivist pedagogy as the best path forward, Kaufman's study will prove invaluable to advocates of equity in education, helping them… [Direct]
