LAWSUIT
*ontnued from Page 1A
"This study supports my experience
as an educator in an important way,"
Gurin said.
University spokesperson Mark Haas
said the study is being released with other
reports from expert witnesses all support
"the compelling need for diversity in
higher education," - the title given to
the 265-page document supporting the
University's position in each lawsuit.
"Pat's material is new and of national
significance," Haas said. "The other
parts of (the report) are not new and
they are legal arguments."
Gurin said the other expert witnesses,
William Bowen and Derek Bok, authors
of the book "The Shape of the River,"
using research from the book they refute
the argument that blacks do not belong at
selective universities. Bowen and Bok's
study focuses on the effects of diversity
wring the college years, while her study
xplores post-graduation life, Gurin said,
adding that Bowen and Bok's testimony
alone would not suffice.
But Terry Pell, senior legal counsel
for CIR, said Gurin's report also fails to
suffice because it does not answer the
question facing the court: are racial fac-
tors in admissions constitutional?
"It's not clear what the relevance of
the report is," Pell said, adding that in
0 akke vs. the University of California
egents, Justice Louis Powell stated
that "race diversity does not justify the
use of race by government officials."
The educational value is beside the
point, Pell said, explaining that racial
preferences having good consequences
is a legally irrelevant argument.
"The courts are concerned with the
purpose for which race is used and the
extent to which it is used," Pell said.
"Nothing the University has said
refutes our contention that race plays a
very heavy role in the admissions
process - well beyond the positive fac-
tors permitted by Powell's opinion"
Gurin's said her study aims to answer
the question: does diversity have an
educational impact?
Gurin said yes, based on information
from three existing data sets never
before analyzed for this purpose.
Gurin's conclusion also uses argu-
ments that during the late adolescent
years when people are more inclined to
challenge stereotypes and conventions.
"Patterns of racial segregation and sep-
aration historically rooted in our national
life can be broken by diversity experi-
ences in higher education," Gun said.
The study also found that students
learn to accept and relate to others' opin-
ions, which allows them to function more
effectively in a diverse environment.
"Just to bring students together on a
campus is not enough," Gurin said. We
need "diversity in experience."
Before Gurin's study, many believed
the educational benefits of diversity were
confined to minorities. But her report
states that white students in diverse envi-
ronments and diverse informal interac-
tions show increased complex thinking
capacity, increased motivation, elevated
self-confidence, better coping with social
difference and are more likely to live in
diverse neighborhoods after graduation.
The report states that students who
went to high-diversity universities were
2.5 times more likely to have diverse
acquaintances, 2 times as likely to live
in diverse neighborhoods and 1.5 times
as likely to have diverse co-workers.
Gurn said this information applies to
the Detroit area in a powerful way
because Detroit is the second most seg-
regated area in the country.
"Parents want their children to succeed
in the world; we live in a diverse world,"
Gurin said. She called her research "gen-
uine," adding that from the social-science
perspective, the study has many strengths.
Gurin's three data sets - national,
state and University - were examined
equally.
One set, gathered by the University of
California at Los Angeles, examined
more than 180 institutions and included
more than 9,500 students. Another set, the
Michigan Student Study, tracked 1,200
white and 200 black students through
their college years and into post-graduate
life. The final set of data came from the
University's Program on Intergroup
Relations, Conflict and Community, a
University-wide study that focused on
students' experiences with diverse envi-
ronments during and after college.
The study examines the effectiveness
of diversity over time, not "just a snap-
shot" of the present, Gurin said.
Gurin's report uses measurements of
diversity experiences and their outcomes.
In the UCLA study, for example, more
than 82 percent of the 280 possible out-
comes gave the same result - that diver-
sity is beneficial in higher education.
Gurin said the study controlled for
many institutional characteristics such as
SAT scores, high school grades, and
neighborhoods where the students lived.
Defending the 'U'
The University released yesterday the list of experts they will use in the lawsuits against the Law School and College
of Literature, Science and the Arts. Below is a listing of each expert and their relevant theories.
Thomas Sugrue, associate professor of history and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, who grew up in Detroit.
® "In the midst of our increasingly heterogeneous society are islands of homogeneity, places sometimes created by
choice but more often built by inequity and injustice," Sugrue's study states.
3 "The persistence of separation by race and ethnicity - past and present - has shaped the life experiences and
attitudes of whites and minorities in fundamental ways," Sugrue wrote in the study.
Based on data from the 1990 U.S. Census compiled a list of the most black/white segregated metropolitan areas
in the United States and 5 out of 25 are Michigan cities. Detroit is second behind Gary and Hammond, Indiana and
ahead of Chicago, New York and Philadelphia.
Eric Foner, history professor at Columbia University.
* His report is a history of the concept of race and the black experience as a template for the history of race relations.
0 The report states there is a distinct difference in how race is perceived now as compared to during the waves of
immigration that characterized the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the United States, the idea use to define groups
that are no longer considered separate races. Irish, Jewish and Italians fit into this category.
Albert Camarillo, history professor and director of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford
University.
® Camarillo's report "outlines the historical patterns and legacies of racial isolation and separation of Hispanics in American
society."
* The current socio-economic profiles of Latinos/as shows that while this ethnic group has shown signs of progress
and advancement it still continues to be under-represented in "institutional life" of the nation.
William Bowen, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and former president of Princeton University, author of
"the Shape of the River," examines the long-term consequences of race and ethnicity in University admissions.
w He argues "a university must have the freedom to decide which students it will admit and which criteria it will use in its
admissions decisions .... A school doesn't start from the premise that any applicant has a 'right' to a place in a college or uni-
versity."
N "Races almost always affects an individual's life experiences and perspectives, and thus a person's capacity to
contribute to the kind of leering through diversity that occurs on campuses."
Claude M. Steele, chair of the department of psychology at Stanford University.
® Steele's "Standardized admissions tests such as the SAT, the ACT, and the LSAT are of limited value in evaluating 'merit' or
determining admissions qualifications of all students, but particularly for black, hispanic, and native american applicants..."
I Steele's report'states that test scores are useful but only in a limited way. To supplement this argument he uses
an analogy: Suppose a coach had to choose a basketball team based on 10 free throw shots.
8 A second problem is how to interpret the scores. A player that makes 10 out of 10 shots leaves you with a confident judg-
ment as does a player that makes zero of 10 shots, but a player that makes four to six of 10 shots -- that suggests a wide
range of influences that the coach must consider. The same, he suggests, is true of standardized test scores.
