Reported by veteran journalists Charles Dervarics, Karen Branch-Brioso, Tracie Powell and Ronald Roach, this comprehensive report also details what to expect from the incoming administration. In this, the last edition of the year, Diverse’s “2008: A Year in Review” recounts the year’s top stories to touch diversity and higher education, including David Paterson becoming the first Black governor of New York to Colorado becoming the first state to vote down an anti-affirmative action ban.

The historic social, political and economic events of 2008 promise to shape our nation for many years to come. We have reason to enter 2009 with guarded optimism. To start, we must commit ourselves to making the next year better than this one.
