California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education

Diversity in Science and Engineering Faculties: Preparing for the Great Crew Change" Dr. Donna J. Nelson, Department of Chemistry, University of Oklahoma The California Forums for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and master's candidates who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The groups include low-income and first-generation college students and especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. Each California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education will bring together approximately 1,000 pre-selected, high-achieving undergraduate and master's students. The students will explore graduate opportunities and resources by participating in numerous workshops conducted throughout the day. Universities and individual graduate programs offering academic master's and/or Ph.D. degrees are welcome to participate in the recruitment fairs that will take place concurrently with the other planned activities. Note that these events are for all disciplines except MBA programs, medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law, all of which have their own recruiting networks.

@midnight9wanderer Yes its a hard pill to swallow but some races, tribes, nations, etc. Are dumber then other ones. As whole of course not indivuals.

@dekaveritas Wrong! Sometimes people are born for failure. Its not an easy pill to swallow nor is it the most loving and caring position to take, but its true.

and besides the system your advocating (give more money to failing schools) has been done time and time again... and has failed time and time again... Think with your brain and not with your heart. The world will then become alot more clear and easy to understand...

[dekaveritas]

it's mostly agreed that education in science (as well as in math) is so essensial for development. and this notion should be equally distributed throughout all etnicities in states in order to have all those etnicities have an equal chance to develop.

[midnight9wanderer]

why does she keep saying 'underrepresented minorities'? the whole sense that all groups are going to be equally represented in all fields is completely flawed.

Some groups just dont get into science in large number, some get very heavilly into science.

diversity is so overrated. I mean if it happens for other reasons, fine but to aim for it is rather absurd. Hire for ability and performance, let the ethnic chips fall where they may! I just had to throw some anti p-c thing in there xD
