Prof. Orfield, Thomas Luce Author Study on Open Enrollment

The Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity has released "Open Enrollment and Racial Segregation in the Twin Cities: 2000-2010," a new study of the Metro area's 69 school districts, written by Professor Myron Orfield, director of the Institute and Thomas Luce, Ph.D., the Institute's research director. It provides evidence that Minnesota's Open Enrollment program increases racial segregation in area schools. The study and its findings are discussed in MinnPost, and Orfield was interviewed on Minnesota Public Radio.
