Diversity gains at selective colleges were incremental, with equity gaps by race/ethnicity persisting. Historically underrepresented students are more likely to enroll in open-access institutions.
Selective colleges remain highly segregated by race/ethnicity and class, impacting positions of influence. Open-access institutions, educating most college students, struggle with limited resources and lower success rates.
Selective institutions are urged to overhaul admission policies for equitable enrollment in a post-affirmative action society.
In 2019, historically underrepresented groups made up 37% of college-aged population but only 21% of selective college enrollments, highlighting a significant disparity.
