| Summary: | The Carnegie Council's position on public and academic policy issues involved in the Bakke case is summarized in this publication. The Council holds that the racial experience of an academically admissible student is among the criteria relevant to admissions decisions. In speaking of race, the experience of persons raised in non English speaking homes, as well as that of members of racial minority groups, is included. Features of public and academic policy in higher education are discussed as they relate to racial criteria in admissions. Specific recommendations are offered for policy affecting admissions to selective schools at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. A two stage model of the admissions process is suggested. In this model, minimal standards would be set to determine "admissibility", the first stage. These standards would be applied uniformly to all applicants. Considerations of race, sex and ethnicity would have no place in admissibility decisions, but would be involved in "selection", the second stage of the admissions process. (Author/GC) |
