Dean of the College and McKay Professor of Computer Science Harry R. Lewis '68 says that despite his efforts to encourage their interest, black and Latino student turnout in his classes remains less than promising.
Steven J. Gortler, director of undergraduate studies for computer science, says his program offers a fellowship for minority students, and other departments report similar scholarships for minorities.
According to Lewis, the field of computer science sees a similar problem with concentrators tending to enter the business rather than academia--which results in a small number of black and Latino computer science professors.
"Many of those [concentrators] wind up on the business side rather than on the academic side, so the number of black or Hispanic faculty in computer science is extremely small nationally," he writes.
Expanding on comments he issued the day of the decision, Klein said Microsoft was able to dictate to computer manufactures what software they could and could not include with their computers.
