Sommario/riassunto |
|
In recent years, colleges have successfully increased the racial diversity of their student bodies. They have been less successful in diversifying their faculties. This book identifies the ways in which minority students make occupational choices, what their attitudes are toward a career in academia, and why so few become college professors. |
