Success and Shortfalls in Effort to Diversify N.F.L. Coaching; New York Times, 1/20/15

David Waldstein, New York Times; Success and Shortfalls in Effort to Diversify N.F.L. Coaching:
"Charles Ogletree, a professor at Harvard University’s law school and the founder of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, embraces the rule. But he said that it had not corrected the wide disparity between the numbers of black players and black coaches. “There is a big difference between interviewing and hiring,” Professor Ogletree said. “There has just been too little effort in that regard. There needs to be more hiring in a significant way, and not just because they are black, but because they are talented and do well when they get those jobs. There is no acceptable reason for this underrepresentation.”
