As a UCI economics undergraduate, Sonia Rai had a bubbly personality and a smile that lit up the Social Sciences Undergraduate Student Affairs Office, says Helen Morgan, director of the office where Sonia worked as a peer advisor.  In mid-December 2010, Sonia was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.  She is currently undergoing intense chemotherapy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and will require a bone marrow transplant in order to survive beyond the next few months, says her brother Sumit.

According to a new study by UCI economist David Neumark, an increasing rate of incarceration of minority men in the U.S. has contributed to both the increasing number of single-parent minority households and the decreasing number of minority high school dropouts.  The findings are surprising, says Neumark, as they contradict both liberal and conservative views as well as current public policy initiatives.
