 ’s undergraduate student body increased markedly in the early 1970s with
  greater participation of Jews\, African-Americans\, Latinos\, and women. 
 A bit later\, a determined effort to diversify the University’s faculty 
 was formally initiated. These events led\, in turn\, to greater diversity 
 of our graduate and professional student bodies. With broad support from t
 he Stanford staff\, faculty and trustees\, two foci of these undertakings 
 were the Faculty Senate’s Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Fina
 ncial Aid (C-UAFA) and the Faculty Affirmative Action (FAA) program. Throu
 ghout these endeavors\, the University sought relatively successfully to b
 oth achieve greater social equity and enhance its scholarly/educational ca
 pabilities.\n\nArthur (Artie) Bienenstock chaired C-UAFA from 1969 to 1972
  and was responsible for FAA from 1972 to 1977. In this talk\, Bienenstock
  will deal with some of the major events of that period\, and some of the 
 people behind those events\, from his C-UAFA and FAA perspectives. The tal
 k will end with a brief discussion of our present situation\, with some as
 pects about which we should be quite pleased\, but with some disappointmen
 ts and concerns.\n\nArthur (Artie) Bienenstock is associate director of th
 e Wallenberg Research Link\, special assistant to the (Stanford) President
  for Federal Research Policy and professor emeritus of photon science. He 
 has served in many different administrative capacities at Stanford since j
 oining the faculties of applied physics and materials science in 1967. Of 
 particular relevance to his talk are his service as chair of the Committee
  on Financial Aid (1968-9)\, chair of the Committee on Undergraduate Admis
 sions and Financial Aid (1969-72)\, as well as Faculty Affirmative Action 
 Officer and Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs (1972-1977). In these positio
 ns\, he participated in the efforts to diversify the undergraduate student
  body and the faculty. More recently\, as the associate director for scien
 ce of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and as a mem
 ber of the National Science Board\, he focused on the nation’s STEM work
 force and the need for greater participation of women\, under-represented 
 minorities\, and youth from the lower economic strata in that workforce.\n
