This shouldn’t be shocking…..
NBC News reports that black student enrollment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has drastically dropped following the Supreme Court’s historic overturning of the affirmative action ruling.
“That’s what has happened.”
“But what it does not bring, as a consequence of last year’s Supreme Court decision, is the same degree of broad racial and ethnic diversity that the MIT community has worked together to achieve over the past several decades.”
While the court’s ruling banned schools from using race as an enrollment factor, students are still allowed to showcase their ethnic backgrounds in application materials such as essays, personal statements, and extracurricular activities. The populations of white and Asian American students have jumped up while other demographics, like Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, hit the zero percentage mark.
In an effort to combat the numbers, MIT said it expanded recruitment and financial aid initiatives to prioritize low-income students from all backgrounds.
