Does Diversity Matter? Evidence from College Graduates' Salaries

Much has been made about the role of affirmative action in admissions at U.S. Universities. The prevailing argument - that universities should embody the best in society and simply "do the right thing" has not consistently withstood the scrutiny of the U.S. Court System. While there is much research on the emotional benefits to more diverse settings and those setting's impact on students of color, little work has been done to investigate how a college's diversity impacts graduates' future earnings. This book explores that impact and in particular explores benefits to graduates based on their ethnic differences finding that the biggest beneficiary of institutional diversity are actually white men.
