A report by the directors of RAND research on education and human resources (including employment/unemployment, poverty, segregation, and discrimination). Current work involves about 40 educational psychologists, economists, engineers, sociologists, political scientists, mathematicians, operations researchers, and computer scientists, with a distinguished 16-member advisory board. The focus is on (1) analyzing educational effectiveness, (2) evaluating and developing accountability techniques for education and manpower programs, (3) program management and planning, (4) labor force behavior, (5) educational finance, (6) educational technology, (7) equal employment opportunities, and (8) theory and practice of planned change in educational organizations. The sponsorship and findings of about 100 specific publications are described (a bibliography is included). Newer work includes NSF-sponsored studies of mid-life redirection of careers; HEW-sponsored studies of school change agent programs and of comprehensive services for handicapped minors; Civil Rights Commission-sponsored study of school desegregation; and self-sponsored studies of compensatory education evaluation, and of equalization of employment opportunity. 30 pp. Bibliog.
