The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils, whose members
are drawn from the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Council on Education, the National Research Council, and the
Social Science Research Council. The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and
with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors and editors according to procedures approved by each of the four member
Councils of the Conference Board.
The Conference Board of Associated Research Councils was created to foster discussion of issues of mutual interest; to determine the
extent to which a common viewpoint on such issues prevails within the academic community of the United States; to foster specific investigations
when so desired; and, when the Conference Board finds joint, common, or other action desirable, to make recommendations to the
appropriate Councils.
