Minority Participation: America’s Scienceand Technology Talent at the Crossroads: Underrepresented minority groups comprised 28.5 percent of our national population in 2006, yet just 9.1 percent of college-educated Americans in science and engineering occupations (academic and nonacademic), suggesting the proportion of underrepresented minorities in S&E would need to triple to match their share of the overall U.S. population. (p. 3) 1The under-representation of minorities as well as females and persons with disabilities is notsimply a demographic problem but also a social justice problem in a society that professes to beegalitarian and democratic 2.
