Tsanoff's honorary publicity research professor and chairman, Chandler Davidson, taught at Rice from 1966 to 2003. He was a founding member of the department of society and served as department manager for 14 years from 1979 to 2003. In the second half of his career, he was appointed jointly with the department of politics. Davidson has won five university-wide educational awards, including Rice's highest award, George R. Brown Excellence in Teaching Award. In addition to the many articles posted in academic journals and popular magazines, he is writing and editing many books. In the early 1990s, he and the Professor Bernard Groveman of the University of California at Irvine led the important academic research to evaluate the influence of the Southern Voting Rights Act of 1965. Nearly 30 political scientists, historians, sociologists, and voting rights attorneys participate in this project funded by the National Science Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The resulting book "The Quiet Revolution in the South" (Princeton University Press, 1994) was collaboratively edited by Davidson and Groveman and received the Richard Finno award from the American Political Science Association for the legitimate behavior of that year. Best publication. The scholarship of Davidson's voting rights has been cited at least seven times in the opinion of the US Supreme Court, and repeatedly in the subordinate opinion of the court. In 2011 the district court in the District of Columbia District Court affirmed 27 cases of his two books and the US Senate testimony of 2006 whether the Article 5 of the Voting Rights Act was still valid. When this case was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court in 2012, he and Grofman edited the amount to be quoted by Ginsberg judge for her objections. He is still studying the voting rights of minorities. David was asked to serve the ten national voting rights bill committee when the Congress was considering re-approving the non-permanent provision of the bill in 2005-06. In this position, he served as the main drafter and author of the Committee 's 2006 report' Protection of minority voters'. That year, he was also invited to the US Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about re-approval of the bill [link]. In 2011, the Civil Rights Organization Promotion Project asked to submit affidavits to the US Department of Justice regarding the history of racial discrimination in the Texas election with the aim of asking the motivation and influence of Texas. "In recently enacted laws, photo identification ID is required for voting.

To begin our analysis, we divided into four categories: art and humanities, natural science, social science, and SEAS (University of Engineering and Applied Science). We have found that the number of concentrators in natural science, arts and humanities is relatively stable, seeing a decrease in the number of social science concentrators and an increase in the number of SEAS concentrators. The figure shows unstable jumps and declines and psychological stability of the government, but economics in particular has fallen sharply, computer science and applied mathematics are steadily growing steadily. Computer science and applied mathematics accounted for 73% of SEAS concentrators, and 75% of SEAS growth rate was attributable to the increase in CS and applied mathematics. Economic concentrators occupy 26% of social science concentrators and 23% of social science concentrators
