????Title: Does Education Matter? Estimating the
Effects of Education
on Support for Minority Preferences???????
In his 2001 article, Glaser estimates the effects of education on
support for minority preferences and finds that across four types of
preferencesquotas in university admissions, hiring in municipal jobs,
awarding of city contracts, and race-conscious redistricting--university
quotas is the only issue in which more highly educated whites are less
likely than their less educated counterparts to support the policy.
This is a long sentence. I would split it into two.
After correcting for several types of bias, we use
both Glasers data
Can you clarify or list an example of "biases" you are talking about?
and 2000 National Election Survey (NES) to show that
education also
negatively affects support for preferential hiring of minorities when
racial attitude variables are included in the model. We assert that by
I would change "negatively affects" to "reduce" or something.
not including racial attitude questions in his
original model, Glaser
overlooks the important role race plays in determining citizens
attitudes on this range of issues and thus produces biased estimates of
the effects of education.
I don't think you need "thus produces biased estimates ..." since you
already say "Glaser overlooks..."
