Data were obtained through a questionnaire sent to 26 political science graduate programs in the U.S. Findings indicated that, overall, the country's leading political science programs are doing little to counteract the antidemocratic trends highlighted in ADARI. Findings revealed that the overwhelming majority of respondents make little or no effort to enroll more students from working class backgrounds. Findings are discussed in detail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
