(1978). Preferential Treatment: For Groups or for Individuals?. Phi Kappa Phi Journal, 58, 1, 7-9, Win 78. Preferential treatment for minority groups cannot be viewed as compensatory justice for past discrimination against those groups.

(1978). A Defense of Programs of Preferential Treatment. Phi Kappa Phi Journal, 58, 1, 15-8, Win 78.

(2004). Achieving Diversity: Race-Neutral Alternatives in American Education. US Department of Education This report, illustrates the rich variety of race-neutral alternatives now available. The Department of Education hopes to make clear that postsecondary student body diversity is in many respects a secondary school–and even a primary school–challenge and that the most vigorous approaches to postsecondary diversity begin with a commitment to developing a pool of students equipped not only to attend but to thrive in college, to graduate from college within a reasonable period and to profit from their educational experience. Approaches that focus exclusively on the admissions process, without regard to student development both prior and subsequent to admission, can never provide more than partial remedies.
