Publications - Access of Ethnic Minorities to Higher Education
Twenty-five years after significant national, state, and university efforts to increase the participation of minorities in graduate school and the professoriate, the numbers receiving Ph.D.s in science and engineering have grown only very slowly. Minorities still constitute a small number of Ph.D. recipients and university faculty. In order to understand how the number of minorities can be increased in the scientific workforce, the study is framed around two large central questions: (1)How and why did underrepresented minority students in science and engineering disciplines from all nine University of California campuses succeed in earning their Ph.D.s? (2) Did their careers correspond to their training and aspirations? (More information)
