Articles by Professor W. Lee Hansen at the Pope Center site and by John Leo here at Minding the Campus attracted wide attention last week by deploring a suggestion in a diversity report at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that called for, among other things, the ?proportional participation? of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups ?in the distribution of grades.? Here two UW professors, Donald A. Downs, a frequent contributor to Minding the Campus, and David Canon, disagree with the Hansen-Leo assessment, and Professor Hansen replies.
