Data trends on minorities and people with disabilities in computing.

The article discusses demographic research on minority students in computer science, arguing that research could be used to develop policies to promote diversity in computing. Using data from the Computing Research Association (CRA) Taulbee reports and WebCASPAR, a database of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrated Science and Engineering Resources Data System (IPEDS), the authors examine the number of minorities and women in U.S. computer science university and college programs.
