Undergraduate
Diversity: More Minorities, More Women
This brief article in the Chronicle for Higher Ed has some interesting figures and tables. When I see these
kinds of demographic data, I always wonder how the teaching and recruiting will
change in disciplines that continue to attract a narrow segment of the
population. How might some of the more traditional engineering disciplines change? Also, with the female population in academe growing, will we
begin to see decreases in the tendency to dismiss as less scholarly those
disciplines that are traditionally predominantly female?
