description Academic institutions across the country have long recognized the value of racial integration and have consistently opposed legal challenges to affirmative action policies. Despite these efforts, the percentage of underrepresented minorities in academic positions has not increased in proportion to their representation in society. Recruitment of underrepresented minorities into scientific and academic careers is important, because these individuals provide valuable contributions to research and teaching, and they serve as positive role models to others aspiring to such professions. In this interview, Renato Aguilera, Chair of the ASCB Minorities Affairs Committee, answers questions from MBoC Features Editor Doug Kellogg about diversity in the scientific workforce.
