In December 2018, the Board of Education of San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) passed a resolution for developing a student assignment system for elementary schools, which seeks to improve diversity, transparency, and equal access to quality schools. This follows an increasing trend towards segregation in the last two decades despite the diversity in the district. This project will help SFUSD in designing a new assignment system to achieve these goals. This proposal will build tools from AI optimization and Economics to design mechanisms, priorities and zones that increase diversity by accounting for understudied choice behaviors.
Irene Lo is Assistant Professor of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University. Her research is on designing matching markets and assignment processes to improve market outcomes, with a focus on public sector applications and socially responsible operations research. She is also interested in mechanism design for social good and graph theory.
Francis A. Pearman is an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. His research focuses on how poverty and inequality shape the life chances of children, especially in rapidly changing cities.

Taube Center for Jewish Studies Presents
CAMPUS CONVERSATIONS
"The Conflict in Israel/Palestine"
|
|
OCTOBER 4, 2021 | 5PM PT
Join us for an important conversation about the intersections of antisemitism and antizionism--and the question of whether such an intersection exists at all. Lila Corwin-Berman (Temple University) and Tony Michels (Univ. of Wisconsin) address these questions, in conversation with Stanford's Steven J. Zipperstein, in light of the ongoing conflicts in Israel/Palestine and the debates that have emerged on campuses like Stanford and across the country.
All undergraduates are invited to join the speakers for dinner in the faculty club following the conversation.

Michael Tubbs first heard about guaranteed income in a Stanford class on Martin Luther King Jr. “It was shocking because I grew up in the church, so I spent every MLK Day reenacting Dr. King’s sermons, quoting his words and doing MLK speech contests. I never heard anyone talk about this part of his legacy,” says Tubbs, ’12, MA ’12, a former mayor of Stockton, Calif., and currently the special adviser for economic mobility and opportunity for the governor of California. But as a sophomore reading King’s Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, Tubbs acquainted himself with the argument that government efforts to fight poverty were too piecemeal and limited.
