Media, politicians, and the courts portray college campuses as
divided over diversity and affirmative action. But what do students
and faculty really think? This book uses a novel technique to
elicit honest opinions from students and faculty and measure
preferences for diversity in undergraduate admissions and faculty
recruitment at seven major universities, breaking out attitudes by
participants' race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, and
political partisanship. Scholarly excellence is a top priority
everywhere, but the authors show that when students consider
individual candidates, they favor members of all traditionally
underrepresented groups - by race, ethnicity, gender, and
socio-economic background. Moreover, there is little evidence of
polarization in the attitudes of different student groups. The book
reveals that campus communities are less deeply divided than they
are often portrayed to be; although affirmative action remains
controversial in the abstract, there is broad support for
prioritizing diversity in practice.
