"This is a provocative book about the collision of ideas and ideals, deeply and even nobly held, and the effect of this clash upon our elite public universities. Neither the author2s prescriptions, nor even all of her observations, will be acceptable to everyone. But she displays intelligence, integrity, and affection for the university as an institution, for Berkeley as her principal model, and for the elusive and enormously complicated goals of access, diversity, fairness, and academic excellence." --D. Bruce Johnstone, chancellor emeritus, State University of New York and professor, Graduate School of Education, SUNY-BuffaloShameful Admissions takes us behind the scenes of one of our nation2s most prestigious public institutions and gives us the inside story on why and how we blame affirmative action for creating an educational system that no longer delivers. Browne-Miller2s expose on this controversial topic not only explains the inner workings, stresses, and strains of higher education in this country, it also sets out solutions to the challenge of preserving equal educational opportunities for all students.Browne-Miller, Angela is the author of 'Shameful Admissions: The Losing Battle to Serve Everyone in Our Universities - Angela Browne Miller' with ISBN 9780787901820 and ISBN 0787901822.
