Look What Happens When Affirmative Action Is Banned: Black Students Are Pushed Down into Second- and Third-Tier Institutions of Higher Education.
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n34 p82-94 Win 2001-2002
Discusses what has happened to black enrollment at flagship state universities and graduate schools in five states in which race-neutral admissions have been mandated by law (Washington, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and California). Suggests that under a nationwide ban on affirmative action, black students would be largely eliminated from top institutions and moved into lower-tier institutions. (SM)
