Jerome Karabel (born 1950) is an American sociologist, political and social commentator, and Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley.〔''Who’s Who in America 2009'', Vol. 1. Marquis, 2009. p. 2544.〕〔Jerome Karabel’s faculty profile on the Sociology Department website at the University of California at Berkeley http://sociology.berkeley.edu/profiles/karabel/pubs.php〕 He has written extensively on American institutions of higher education and on various aspects of social policy and history in the United States, often from a comparative perspective. Karabel is the author of ''The Chosen: The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton'' (2005), which received the Distinguished Scholarly Book Award from the American Sociological Association.〔“Jerome Karabel Award Statement,” American Sociological Association http://www.asanet.org/about/awards/book/karabel.cfm〕 He is also co-author (with Steven Brint) of ''The Diverted Dream: Community Colleges and the Promise of Educational Opportunity in America, 1900-1985'' (1989), which received the Outstanding Book Award from the American Educational Research Association.〔“Outstanding Book Award – Past Recipients,” American Educational Research Association http://www.aera.net/AboutAERA/Default.aspx?menu_id=20&id=233〕 His research in the sociology of education explores notions of meritocracy, opportunity, access, and cultural capital in American higher education, and the role of the educational system in legitimating the existing social order. In ''The Chosen'', Karabel chronicles the admissions policies of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton over the course of the twentieth century, describing how new admissions criteria—including letters of recommendation, athletic and extracurricular achievements, and interviews, in addition to a student’s academic credentials—were first introduced in the 1920s in an effort to limit the number of Jewish students. Such starkly redefined measures of “merit” were institutionalized at these and other elite institutions over time, even as these schools later adapted such admission policies in response to growing demands for greater democratization and diversity during the mid and latter half of the twentieth century.〔Review of ''The Chosen'' by Malcolm Gladwell, “Getting In: The Social Logic of Ivy League Admissions,” The New Yorker, October 10, 2005 http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/10/10/051010crat_atlarge〕 Karabel’s articles have been published in the ''American Sociological Review'', ''Harvard Education Review'', ''Theory and Society'', ''Social Forces'', and ''Politics and Society'' among others.
