Duke sociologist sees little gain

for blacks,

By MILLIE Dl'NN

Blacks and women have made
no substantial gain in higher
education in the last decade. said
Dr Jacquelyne J Jackson. Med-
ical sociologist from Duke I‘tll'
versity

"In too many instances. many
of the additions to faculty. staff
and student body were made on
soft money and soft programs."
Jackson said “In terms of tenur-
ed positions and in making
fundamental changes almost
nothing has happened "

According to Jackson. institu
tions made few attempts to bring
foreign bodies for their needs.

“The sad thing about this is
many of the students cracked
up." the Duke sociologist said.
“Too many people were trying to
direct their lives. The institutions
themselves singled them out as
different, They were never con-
cerned whether this would help or
hinder the students."

on the forefront of a new field. if
you are black. it is good to have a

Jackson also criticized re-
search data. “We look at data
when we want to look at blacks in
the ways we want to see them;
when we don't want to. we don‘t
have any data." she said

"IT AMAZES ME that we can
find so many things because of
race." she continued, As an
example. she said poverty is a
black problem because more
blacks are poor. “If it is due to
race. everyone of that race
should be so affected.” she said.

Jackson saw one positive as-
pect in the universities' desegre-
gation.

Desegregation helped some
blacks get a better perspective on
