Patricia Gurin is a social psychologist known for her work documenting the benefits of student and faculty diversity in higher education. She is the Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies at The University of Michigan.[1]
Gurin provided testimony in the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court Affirmative Action case of Grutter v. Bollinger,[2] involving the University of Michigan, which ultimately deemed the university's affirmative action policies to be constitutional.[3][4] Gurin was honored by the American Psychological Foundation with the 2010 Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement.[5] Her award citation stated, "Her development of a theoretical rationale for the educational benefits of diversity, and supporting empirical analysis, played a pivotal role in the University of Michigan’s legal defense of its admission policies."[6]
