Although in many ways American higher education has fulfilled Jefferson's vision by achieving a widespread level of excellence, it has not achieved the objective of equity implicit in Jefferson's statement. In Equity and Excellence in American Higher Education, William G. Bowen, Martin A. Kurzweil, and Eugene M. Tobin explore the cause for this divide. Employing historical research, examination of the most recent social science and public policy scholarship, international comparisons, and detailed empirical analysis of rich new data, the authors study the intersection between "excellence" and "equity" objectives." 0aEducational equalizationzUnited States. 4aIgualdad educativa zEstados Unidos 0aDiscrimination in higher educationzUnited States. 4aDiscriminación en la educación superior zEstados Unidos  0aUniversities and collegeszUnited StatesxAdmission. 4aUniversidades y colegios zEstados Unidos xAdmisión 1 aKurzweil, Martin A, d1980-1 aTobin, Eugene M.1 aPichler, Susanne C,d1966- 0aThomas Jefferson Foundation distinguished lecture series 413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip051/2004023111.html
