The differing reporting methods on racial makeup among colleges can mislead the public, making it challenging to accurately compare incoming student demographics post-affirmative action.
While Harvard's share of Black students reportedly dropped to 14%, and Princeton's remained at 9%, the methods used to calculate these figures can obscure their actual proximity.
Key factors in reporting include whether to include international students and how multiracial identities are counted, leading to confusion in understanding racial demographics.
If focusing solely on domestic students or excluding those who didn’t disclose their race, Black student percentages can appear higher, complicating comparisons between institutions.
