Prof. Orfield and Research Fellow Stancil Quoted Extensively in New York Times Op-Ed on White Voting Patterns

Professor Myron Orfield, director of the Law School’s Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity, and Will Stancil, the Institute’s research fellow, are quoted extensively in a New York Times op-ed on segregation and polarized voting patterns. Drawing upon data and reports produced by the Institute, the piece examines the relationship between a municipality’s percentage of white voters and the change in its Republican vote share between the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections.
