Addresses the low number of women and minorities in
graduate programs for computer science. The article
gives practical advice for graduate departments to
attract and keep minorities in their programs. The article
also discusses past programs that have been successful in
recruiting and retaining minorities, and current programs
that look promising.

This paper presents figures that describe the situation with respect to male and female registration, persistence and success rates in Computer Science at a South African University. The figures indicate that the percentage of female undergraduates has been smaller than that of male undergraduates over the previous few years, at around 25%. It was also found that the persistence rates and pass rates for both female and male undergraduates are similar.

In this article the chair of the Computing Research Association (CRA),
Edward Lazowska, addresses the Commission on the Advancement
of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering and Technology.
Mr. Lazowski speaks of the low numbers of women in all science
fields, and he stresses the importance of focusing on attracting
women and minorities specifically to computing fields, because this increase will effect all other science fields as well.
