College Diversity Without Admissions Preferences seminar presented tomorrow by Applications Quest, LLC in Washington, DC

Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 20, 2008 -- The U.S. Supreme Court has limited the ability of colleges and universities to use race as a factor in admissions. But due to the bourgeoning demographic shifts in the U.S. college-going population, how will colleges and universities continue to admit a competitive but racially diverse group of students? A classic perfect storm is therefore right over the horizon, or is it?

A powerful group of advocates promote the notion that race should never be used while those on the other side of the issue say that not only should it be used, but it has to be used. Another promising idea is the use of new and sophisticated technologies (http://www.applicationsquest.com) that can accomplish what humans can't.

Come join a timely discussion among experts on these and other sides of this contentious but inescapable deliberation. This seminar is hosted by Cox, Matthews & Associates, publisher of Diverse: Issues In Higher Education (http://www.diverseeducation.com) magazine.
