Each year potential university students submerge themselves in the muddy waters of the application process and university admissions counselors are flooded with applicants. How universities decide who is admitted and who is thrown back to the sea has been the subject of numerous articles and debates. In particular, questions about racial and ethnic bias have dominated recent discourse and made their way again to the courts.

To provide clarity, guests are invited to a panel discussion with Rice University Associate Director Nikki Chun, Wall Street journalist Jeff Yang and author Vijay Chokal-Ingam on the admissions process and considerations of race and ethnicity. Fox 26 reporter Angela Chen will moderate the program.
