Princeton Establishes Center for African American Studies

by Diverse staff and wire reports , September 20, 2006

In other news, Princeton officials also announced plans to join Harvard University in ending the early admissions process.

“We agree that early admission ‘advantages the advantaged,’” Tilghman says, echoing comments from Harvard officials, who said last week that the process was unfair to minorities and low-income students.

Other Ivy League schools, including Yale University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania, among others, have so far indicated they would likely keep their current systems at least for now.
