Categorizing respondents based on views across four dimensions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition to their overall approval or disapproval of considering race and ethnicity as a factor in admissions decisions in order to increase racial and ethnic diversity, survey respondents were asked additional questions about four areas of potential impact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Whether the consideration of race and ethnicity in admissions decisions makes the overall admissions process of these colleges more or less fair (more fair=positive, less fair=negative, neither\/not sure=neutral)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Whether the students who are accepted to these colleges are more or less qualified (more qualified=positive, less qualified=negative, neither\/not sure=neutral)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Whether this makes students\u2019 overall educational experiences at these colleges better or worse (better=positive, worse=negative, neither\/not sure=neutral)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Whether this is good or bad for ensuring equal opportunity for Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds (good=positive, bad=negative, neither\/not sure=neutral)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    (See topline for full question wording<\/a>.) In addition to analyzing each of these questions individually, the report includes a discussion of a summary measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
