Closing the Gap in Minority Achievement – Dereck Bok
Chronicle of Higher Education
 Closing the gap in academic achievement and SAT scores has not
diminished over the last 15 years
 Performing well on the SAT does not always guarantee that an African
American student will not struggle
 Lower grades and SAT scores only accounts for half of the racial gap
the other half is underperformance
 Dr. Douglas Massey who wrote, “The Source of the River” says a
survey of 4000 students regarding underperformance has determined
that poorer preparation to learn, low self-esteem, and inferior public
schools has contributed to performance problems
 Dr. Massey also confirms that minority students exhibit more concerns
about their intellectual ability and self-doubts. Putting students into
remedial classes only reconfirms that they do not have the aptitude to
succeed.
