One of tenrecommendations from the National Research Council is to “secure for the United States the fullbenefits of education for all Americans, including women and underrepresented minorities, inscience, mathematics, engineering, and technology” [1]. This goal is a central tenet of theUniversity of California (UC) system, which was recently recognized by The New York Timesas an “upward-mobility machine” [2].
