Creating an Institutional Perspective for Evaluating the Admission of Minorities.

Stock, William A.; Schmid, Richard F.

College and University, v56 n1 p76-82 Fall 1980

Study of freshman applicants and persistence at Arizona State University revealed that at first years end the ethnic composition of applicants and students was very similar. However, no admissions model that attempts to match some community's ethnic composition can be constructed to assure adequate representation of all minorities, although steps can be taken to increase minority participation.
