'Segregation Forever'?: The Continued Underrepresentation of Black and Latino Undergraduates at the Nation's 101 Most Selective Public Colleges and Universities

This report examines the state of access for Black and Latino students at 101 of the nation's most selective public colleges and universities. More specifically, it examines how access for Black and Latino students at these institutions has changed since 2000 and whether these institutions are serving an undergraduate student body that represents the racial and ethnic diversity of their particular state's population. Each of these 101 institutions are graded on their commitment to access for both Black and Latino students and a list of some of the least accessible selective public institutions in the country is provided. The findings make it clear that despite some marginal gains in access for Latino students since the turn of the century, both Black and Latino students continue to be woefully underrepresented at these institutions. And in many instances, access has even regressed. The conclusion of the report provides campus leaders and policymakers with 10 recommendations that can help increase the representation of Black and Latino students at the 101 colleges highlighted herein. While taking action is long overdue, the need to act now is even more necessary, given the expected impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the enrollment patterns of students of color.
