Analytical Models for Minority Representation in Academic Departments.

Johnson, Kurt N.; Wiley, J. D.

Research in Higher Education, v41 n4 p481-504 Aug 2000

Presents three mathematical models for the evolution over time of the proportion of minorities in an academic department or similarly selected group of constant size. Analyzes both the steady-state and time-dependent behavior of the proportion of minorities and suggests a method of evaluating the fairness of a department's hiring history. (Author/DB)
