Diversity Redefined in the New Affirmative Action Era
Examine the enormous challenge academic institutions face to ensure a diverse student population without giving preference to race or gender, according to the law. Dr. Juan E. Gilbert, professor and chair of the Human Centered Computing Division in the School of Computing at Clemson University, has attempted to address these issues with a data mining tool called Applications Quest. Applications Quest allows the use of race, gender or any other attributes to be considered in admissions, school assignments, employee hiring or any other application processing area, such that no preferences are given to race or gender.
