(2004). Civility and Diversity. Academic Questions, v17 n4 p70-76 Mar.

(2007). Using Qualitative Methods to Assess Academic Success and Retention Programs for Underrepresented Minority Students. New Directions for Institutional Research, n136 p41-53 Win. Programs that serve underrepresented minority students have long faced many challenges. Prior to the late 1970s, higher education institutions reserved academic program slots for underrepresented minority students because these students had limited access to opportunities that afforded them credentials that their white counterparts could more easily attain. As a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in \Regents of the University of California v. Bakke\ (1978), the use of quotas had to be discontinued; nevertheless, the need for academic success and retention programs for underrepresented minority students persisted. About twenty-five years later, the Court's decisions in \Gratz v. Bollinger\ (2003) and \Grutter v. Bollinger\ (2003), along with several state referenda that eliminated the use of race/ethnicity in admissions, hiring, and government contracts, placed even greater restrictions on programs that aim to serve underrepresented minority students.
