YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in higher education, there was legitimate worry that Black and Hispanic students would be overlooked or otherwise shut out of college admissions. But the enrollment numbers are showing something different. In some cases, even without the aid of race-based decision making, Black and Hispanic enrollment either stayed the same or increased.
What does the data tell about the decisions admissions offices are making when thinking about demographics of their student body? And what does that process mean for future culture clashes about diversity and inclusion? NPR's Elissa Nadworny () and labor economist Zach Bleemer () join the show to get into the enigmatic world of college admissions and why higher education is still pushing for diversity in an antiDEI minefield.
