This R&D provides resources on President Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, which seeks to improve employment, academic performance, and the social situation of minority men. Part of the initiative calls for schools to examine zero tolerance discipline policies, which have had the effect of expelling or severely disciplining minority youth and harming their retention in education institutions and performance. It also funds research into best practices to effectively reach and empower minority youth.
