An Alliance for Minority Participation in Mathematics

为了消除黑人、西班牙裔和美洲原住民在全国大学、研究生和专业研究层面的数学和相关领域代表性不足的现象，我们提议建立一个由200多所学院和大学组成的广泛联盟-每一所学院和大学都在当地工作以实现这一目标。此外，我们将建立五个以上的住宿研究暑期学院，为有才华的少数族裔本科生准备数学研究生学习，并最终为学术和专业生涯做准备。大约10,000名少数民族本科生将在五年结束时参与联合体项目。其中1000名学生将参加专门为吸引他们进修数学而设计的项目。专业组织，特别是美国数学协会，将密切参与这一项目，以确保提高黑人、西班牙裔和美洲原住民在数学方面的地位，被确立为数学家和数学系的合法和核心责任。

To eliminate the underrepresentation of Black, Hispanics, and Native Americans in mathematics and related fields at the collegiate, graduate, and professional research level across the nation, we propose to establish a broad consortium of more than 200 colleges and universities-each working locally to achieve this goal. In addition, we will establish more than five residential research summer institutes that will prepare talented minority undergraduates for graduate study in mathematics and, ultimately, for academic and professional careers. Approximately 10,000 minority undergraduates will be involved in consortium programs at the end of five years. One thousand of these will be enrolled in programs explicitly designed to attract them to advanced studies in mathematics. Professional organizations, in particular the Mathematical Association of American, will be intimately involved with this project to ensure that the advancement of Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans in mathematics is established as a legitimate and central responsibility of mathematicians and mathematics departments.
