Random Samples

The number of African-Americans majoring in engineering at U.S. universities has dropped substantially in the past 5 years even as other underrepresented minorities--Hispanics and American Indians--have shown modest growth, the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) reported last month. The decline among black freshmen was 1.1% last year, and 17% since the high-water mark of 1992. NACME president George Campbell blames the backlash against affirmative action as well as shifts in scholarships away from the lowest-income students.
