The major benefit of this "consortium" is that it probably cannot fail to increase the individual departments' awareness of qualified students. The potential drawbacks are that department chairmen may fail, as they have in the past, to become involved in the actual implementation of the program, shirking the responsibility of individual recruiting.

President Bok's proposal seems a worthy one, and these groups should work with other graduate schools to improve a minority...
