6 months agoBlack Student Enrollment Shrinks at Selective Institutions
Two years after the Supreme Court ruled to end affirmative action in college admissions, Black student enrollment at highly selective institutions is backsliding. This fall, some colleges reported shrinking Black populations, which in some cases now comprise less than 2 percent of the student body, the Associated Press reported. The AP analyzed enrollment data from 20 selective colleges and universities, including Columbia, Cornell, Emory, Harvard, Princeton, Tulane and Yale Universities.
