The Cost of Failing Minorities.
Talbert-Johnson, Carolyn
School Business Affairs, v66 n8 p24-27 Aug 2000
Minority students' failure is costly, resulting in increases in remedial instruction and numbers of students held back or tracked in low-ability classes. Equitable opportunities will be ensured by creating equitable structures; selecting a diverse, committed faculty; valuing all students; providing equitable funding; and garnering stakeholder support.
