About this listen

The fourth novel in the Our Compelling Interests book series argues that colorblind policies have made college inaccessible to a large share of students of color and reveals how policies that acknowledge racial inequalities and set racial equality goals can set students and their institutions up for success in contrast. Author Gary Orfield explores paths forward and the benefits of inclusive practices for colleges and their communities as a whole. How can institutions look beyond standardized test scores to employ non-traditional admissions techniques to recruit talented students? How does diversity within an institution benefit its community and society at large?
