The decline in Black first-year students at elite colleges following the end of affirmative action signals a potential long-term impact on racial diversity in higher education.
Amherst College saw a considerable drop of eight percentage points in Black enrollment this year, indicating the immediate effects of recent changes in admissions policies.
Other institutions like Tufts University and the University of Virginia also reported decreases, hinting that the broader implications of the Supreme Court decision may further affect diversity in selective schools.
The data suggests a notable rise in white students enrolled and a slight increase in Asian American students, reshaping the demographics in elite higher education.
