Bassett Jr, Gilbert W.. "Does Diversity Matter? Measuring the Impact of High School Diversity on Freshman GPA.." //Does diversity matter? measuring the impact of high school diversity in freshman GPA//. 2004. 10 Nov 2009 .

Professor Gilbert W. Bassett Jr. is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Along with his spot as a professor, he is the head of the department of finance so he is very dependable. If you read his article, than you would learn mainly about affirmative action and how it affects schools. He did a study on how diversity in schools effected their learning and their grades. He took surveys of ninth-graders he studied how race affected their grades and participation in schools. If you would happen to read this article, you would discover information on how affirmative action created diversity in schools and how diversity in schools helped schooling. This source was a very useful one for me because it basically answered my question by telling me what diversity did and why school admissions go out of there way to consider diversity in the admissions process. I think that there may have been some bias in this article in how it was written and what the quotes said, but I don't think that it was extremely biased because most to all of the information was from facts of the study.

Rosenberg, John. "More Gurinanalysis." //Discrimations: More Gurinanalysis//. October 30, 2006 3:06 PM. 11 Nov 2009 .

John Rosenberg is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. In this article, you will learn more about Patricia Gurin and what her view is on affirmative action. I saw her name in the last article and I was interested in who she was because if she was in this popular article, talking about such an important topic, than she must be someone important. You will learn all about her thoughts on the affirmative action subject. It was a useful source to me because what she said helped me decide why I thought that school admissions cared about diversity in schools. I think that this was a useful source because Patricia Gurin is a psychology and women’s studies professor at the University of Michigan.
