Applying data science to Black achievements in higher ed

Last update: Thursday 31 May 2018

From time to time the denial of the achievements of Black Americans in higher education becomes so pervasive as to almost make me believe in "conspiracies."

This kind of racist nonsense isn't new, but its persistence in a world wherein the most arcane facts are accessible to anyone who has access to the Internet is baffling. Herbert A. Simon, one of the great pioneers of our Information Age, anticipated the roots of this paradox.
