LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 18, 1999 - 7A /!-, 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. ,1 i I I V: 4 AMERICORPS VISTA literacy project in Lansing. 40 hrs./wk. for 1 yr.
