Admission Segregation Returns

 Another wave of disparate treatment and diminished impact in our educational institutions is in play now on Black and Brown students in America during the Trump Era


Admission Segregation is back in our educational institutions 


The end of race-conscious college admissions, prompted by the 2023 Supreme Court ruling, has triggered a "cascade effect" across the U.S. higher education landscape, where highly qualified students of color are increasingly enrolling in less selective institutions rather than the most elite universities. 


This phenomenon has resulted in decreased diversity at top-tier schools while simultaneously increasing enrollment of underrepresented minorities at many state flagship and public universities. 


Elite universities will now retreat to thier segregated admission histories where Black and Brown  students were discriminated and excluded from being admitted 


The usual suspects aka White and some Asian students will now be the overwhelming demographic  of students at these elite universities


This is not acceptable and there must be foundational changes now in our elite universities regarding admissions of  Black and Brown students
