The fall-out from the U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting affirmative action has exacerbated the decline in Native American student enrollment, with prestigious institutions reporting significant drops.
Advocates emphasize the urgency of addressing declining enrollment rates among Indigenous students, as selective universities reported a halving of first-year Native American student percentages this fall.
Angelique Albert, CEO of the Native Forward Scholars Fund, expressed that the decreasing numbers of Indigenous students in higher education are "disheartening and discouraging," spotlighting concern around this trend.
Cheryl Crazy Bull, president & CEO of the American Indian College Fund, acknowledged the negative impact of the Supreme Court's decision but noted that few Native students attend highly selective schools.
