Am I reading this correctly? Yale hasn& #39;t produced 1 Black political scientist in 7 years?
And we at Stanford clearly have lots of work cut out for us, too. Producing 1 Black graduate student in 7 years is a shame.
Actually, edit. It& #39;s a *damn* shame.
Folks often ask me how they can diversify their programs. First step, you& #39;ve actually gotta want to do this. Sometimes folks aren& #39;t there because you don& #39;t want them there. If you want students of color, you need to actually invest in recruiting them & finding them where they are
And you& #39;ve gotta stop overvaluing the wrong shit in the admissions process, which keeps giving you mostly white cohorts.
