expects to stay in the United States (NSF 99-304~. Filling many of the positions in higher-education science careers and industry with foreign students is a shortsighted lack of national policy that increases our national security risks while at the same time overlooking the human treasures here at home.

They are less likely to take college preparatory courses that would allow them to enter college and prepare them for college-level science and mathematics courses (College Board, 1999~. These minority students attend a more affordable school, such as a community college, before entering a four-year college or university.

To become scientists, minority students may have spent more than 24 years in pursuit of their science education. Minority students may generally be more in debt than their white counterparts, face years as poorly paid postdoctoral researchers, remain uncertain of employment or advancement in their field, and have a starting salary that will not allow them to participate in the American dream of homeownership.

The Society also provides professional development workshops on how to negotiate graduate school, job interviews, presentations, and publication, and, for faculty, tenure. We promote excellence in science by providing students with opportunities to listen and meet with outstanding scientists, many of whom are themselves members of an underrepresented minority group.
