During 1997-1999, the percentage of African-American AFROTC
students selected for rated positions was significantly below what
would be expected based on the percentage of African-Americans
enrolled in ROTC. Diversity in the USAF is highly valued and
mandated by law and USAF senior leadership. During the course of
this study, historical data were analyzed to identify trends
relating to African-American enrollment in ROTC and their
subsequent selection for Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT). The
criteria used to select pilot training candidates from eligible
AFROTC students were carefully examined to identify factors in the
selection process that potentially limit the number of
African-Americans eligible for UPT. Specifically, this study
focused on assessing how the component weighting of the order of
merit score assigned to AFROTC students impacts African-American
selection rates. A survey was conducted to examine the consistency
of the criteria used by Commanders across AFROTC detachments for
determining a student's Unit Commander Ranking (UCR). The goal of
this research is to recommend a standardized framework for
utilization by Air Force decision makers. By correcting problems
with the selection process, this framework should result in greater
diversity, higher overall quality, and a larger pool of prospective
candidates with respect to the pilot corps.
