Check out the pie charts on this page of the University of Michigan’s School of Education website:

There are “women,” and there are “minorities,” and then there is that other group that we dare not even name.

And, apparently, no minority women!

Thanks for noticing this, Roger. It made me laugh.

Roger's right -- this chart is completely meaningless.

Where would minority women fit? I guess it depends on which is more important. "Obama vs. Hillary" told us the media wanted a minority president more than a woman president.

Which way does U of M's School of Ed fall? One can only guess. I'd suspect they'd count minority women as "minorities" to boost that total -- the "women" category is pretty large as it is.

And -- is it at all surprising that this comes from a School of Education? Yeesh.
