ABSTRACT: The issue of access at the level of graduate and
professional training is multifaceted. Absolutely nothing
about this issue is unidimensional and singularly focused
except perhaps the persistent effort of black Americans to
attain their rights to higher education. Hence, this study
highlights such important components of the access issue as
admissions policies, practices and results, enrollment
trends and patterns in graduate and professional schools;
barriers to professional practices; and efforts to increase
the number and proportions of blacks in graduate and
professional schools throughout the United States. Although
the scope of concern here is more national than regional,
in
many instances, special attention is given to conditions
existing in those states immediately affected by the
decision in the Adams v. Richardson case. (Author)
