Lowachieving students can benefit from co-op experiences especially during difficult job markets 4.Research suggests that industry partners must improve co-op work environments for minoritygroups by improving ethical conditions 14.One of the two most distinguishing characteristics of the engineering population is that it is“disproportionately male” 15. While women persist in undergraduate engineering programs at thesame rate as men, a lower percentage of women pursue engineering careers after graduation andthose who do enter engineering careers are less likely to persist 16.

Harmayer’s study focused on the librarians’ preference of collections related to pro-choice over those representing pro-life. Quinn (2012) has addressed both the psychological andphilosophical reasons for bias. The latter is related to librarian’s commitment to an ethical codewhereas the former can be both conscious and unconscious. The banning and challenging ofbooks and media has also been an act of censorship whereby works on controversial topics areplaced on a list. Implicit behind this explicit and consciously biased selection of books is thecovert bias against target
