LM_NET'ers,
     I was asked to post a hit on the Affirmative Action information that I
received.  It was all very helpful to me. Thanks again to those who
responded.

recent ones. The rest are from 1995 to
1997. I hope these help.

My mom just passed on an article about affirmative action which was in the
Jan.-Feb. Stanford magazine. It was an excellent article which cited the
works of William Bowen and Derek Bok. They have produced a book entitled
The Shape of the River, 1998, Princeton University Press.

Any time you're looking for "issues" materials on the Web, take a look at
the "Social Issues" page from my former library's Homework Center site at
http://www.multnomah.lib.or.us/lib/homework/sochc.html. It has a section on
Affirmative Action & lots of other topics.
