520 _aAdmissions policy for selective schools has long been a concern within higher education. Recently, it has become an issue for public policy as well at the legislative, the administrative, and the judicial levels. Policy and procedures in this area are now (fall 1977) before the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of The Regents of the University of California v. Allan Bakke. The Carnegie Council and the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education before it had been continuously interested in this issue and related matters.' It is out of this background of concern by the Commission and the Council that the Carnegie Council approaches the current issue.
