  Achieving Diversity in the New Affirmative Action Era  
(Seminar/Conference)

Recent Supreme Court decisions confirm that racial and gender preferences in admissions, school assignments, and hiring are either over or on their way out. It remains clear as explained by the courts and researchers however, that the need for diversity still exists. So how can institutions achieve diversity without giving preference to race, gender, or other factors? In an effort to address these issues, Dr. Juan E. Gilbert has developed a data mining tool called "Applications Quest." This tool allows the use of race, ethnicity, gender or other attributes to be considered in admissions, school assignments, employee hiring or other application processing areas without preferences. Dr. Gilbert will visit Virginia Tech to demonstrate how the tool works and lead a discussion on holistic approaches to achieving diversity in education.
Presenter: Juan E. Gilbert, Professor of Computer Science, Auburn University.
