How Can Universities Improve Black Student Representation? A Pitt Professor Offered a Blueprint in the 1970s

Subject

Universities; Black Students; University of Pittsburgh

Description

As Black students protested against making the University of Pittsburgh more equitable, one professor saw a chance to uplift Black students. More than 50 years later, the school is still learning from his short-lived but impactful effort. When Jerome Taylor joined Pitt’s psychology faculty in the late 1960s, he saw an apparent problem. It was overwhelmingly white. And so were the students.
