[Podcast and Transcript] Kagan Criticized For Lack of Diversity At Harvard; NPR, 6/12/10

[Podcast and Transcript], NPR; Kagan Criticized For Lack of Diversity At Harvard:

"Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is lauded by the White House and many of her colleagues for bringing ideological diversity -- and harmony -- to Harvard Law during the years she served as the school's dean. She recruited conservative law professors to balance the faculty politically. But it is a diversity of a different kind that Duke Law professor Guy Charles finds lacking during her tenure. He points out that of 32 faculty hires made under her leadership; only one was a person of color. A mere seven were women. Charles shares his concerns with guest host Allison Keyes."
