Sociology
Examines the structural impact of racism and ethnic discrimination on American society, and the controversies over racial and ethnic identity. Credit not allowed for both HTS 6119 and HTS 6108.
Sociology
Nature and significance of dominant/minority relations, including legacies of colonialism and slavery, roots of residential segregation, and effects of race on American politics.
Furthest right
None. Georgia Institute of Technology has 9 left-framed courses and not one right-framed course.
Why this number, in plain words
Political lean of course descriptions. Average Framing score (0 = far right, 50 = center, 100 = far left) of the scored courses in the group.
50 is the survey-anchored center of US adults on each issue (the "moderate" place of the ANES/GSS/PRRI seven-label ruler), not the cohort midpoint; scores above 50 read leftward, below 50 rightward.
Counted: courses with a Framing score (categories L/R/B/C). The likely range (95% interval) is 59.6 to 65.3; a comparison whose range overlaps this one is not a reliable difference.
- Only 9 of Georgia Institute of Technology's descriptions carried a scorable lean, so this average and its rank are rough; the interval is the honest range.
- Most course descriptions carry no political lean at all and are not in this average; the "share described from the left" view counts them.
- Readings are of catalog description text, not of teaching, syllabi or individual professors.

Lean (mean Framing score) is not published per department within a school; only the left-framed share is. Department rows carry no interval.

- Metric caveats
- Scored courses only (L/R/B/C); N and I carry no score and are excluded, so n here is smaller than the group's course count. Scores are model readings of catalog description text against a fixed anchored definition, not teaching or syllabi. The interval covers sampling noise in the mean only; it does not represent model reading error. Every value carries a `method` label: exact_rows or histogram_midpoint.
