Highlights from the TCU Faculty & Student Success Convening | | |
|
|
Less than one year ago, the US Supreme Court ended race-conscious affirmative action, drawing heightened attention to long-standing inequities in the higher education system. In a new retrospective analysis, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce demonstrates that even with race-conscious affirmative action in place, racial/ethnic diversity gains made at the nation’s most selective colleges and universities were marginal. As a result, selective institutions need to overhaul their admission policies to achieve equitable enrollment in a post-affirmative action society. Read more in
