- What are the realities for students of color?
The civil rights movement has helped make
higher education more accessible,
but predominantly white universities
still struggle to create a welcoming environment.
According to a 2017 study,
approximately 46% of Black students
who started at a four-year public school
complete their degrees in six years or less.
That's almost 10 points lower than Hispanic students,
and more than 20 points lower than white or Asian students.
Are there solutions to make higher education more inclusive
and improve graduation rates for all students?
