A Quiet End to the Use of Race in College Admissions in Florida.
Selingo, Jeffrey
Chronicle of Higher Education, v46 n15 pA31-A32 Dec 3, 1999
Reports on plans for new "race-blind" entrance criteria at the 10 public universities in Florida. Plans call for ending racial preferences in graduate education altogether and replacing undergraduate preferences with a guarantee of admission to a state university for the top 20 percent of Florida high school graduates. Critics and supporters are quoted concerning expected effects on minority enrollment. (DB)
