PIER PUBLIC SEMINAR SERIES | cepr.harvard.edu/pier-seminar | #PIERseminar

Zachary Bleemer, Assistant Professor of Economics, Princeton University

Join CEPR on February 4 for a timely conversation with Zachary Beemer, Assistant Professor of Economics at Princeton University.

As affirmative action loses political feasibility, many universities have implemented race-neutral alternatives like top percent policies and holistic review to increase enrollment among disadvantaged students. Bleemer will discuss his research on the most common race-neutral alternatives to affirmative action and the policies' effects on universities’ socioeconomic composition.

If you cannot join us in person, the event will also be livestreamed at: http://cepr.harvard.edu/pier-seminar

This event is accessible, free, and open to the public. Seating is first-come, first-seated.
