Background
A panel of scholars will consider the definition of racial discrimination, assess current methodologies for measuring it, identify new approaches, and make recommendations about the best, broad methodological approaches. This panel will give the policy and scholarly communities new tools for assessing the extent to which discrimination continues to undermine the achievement of equal opportunity by suggesting additional means for measuring discrimination that can be applied not only to the racial question but in other important social arenas as well. The panel will conduct a thorough evaluation of current methodologies for measuring discrimination in a wide range of circumstances where it may occur. Finally, the panel will consider how analyses of data from other sources could contribute to findings from research experimentation, such as the HUD paired tests. The panel report will recommend further research as well as the development of data to complement research studies.
