Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Analyses of data on service academy entrants show that, although the percentages of women and nonwhite entrants have increased, these groups tend to graduate and complete their initial service obligation at lower rates than their counterparts. However, in recent cohorts, these groups showed improved graduation rates. The study resulted in several recommendations for the U.S. Department of Defense to support service efforts to increase diversity.
