Diversity and discrimination in favor of males

[Arthur D. Wolf]

        F.Y.I.  A friend called to my attention a recent story, apparently on the
website of The Chronicle of Higher Education.  I do not recall anyone
mentioning it on our list.  If it has been noted, I apologize for
cluttering the service.
The title of the piece is: "Study Says Law Schools Favor White Applicants
Over Their Minority Peers With the Same Grades," by Katherine S. Mangan.  I
am advised it can be found at http://chronicle.com.
