Judging a Book by its Cover
Submitted by Naomi Lopez on 11.10.1998
Given the recent acclaim and fervor surrounding the latest pro-affirmative action book, some of our nation’s most influential educators need to be reminded that one should not judge a book by its cover. The Shape of the River: Long-Term Consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions (Princeton University Press, 1998) by William G. Bowen and Derek Bok, former presidents of Princeton and Harvard Universities, provides data on black students in a variety of areas including marital status, educational attainment, earnings, and occupation.
