Mixed Enrollment Trends Emerge After Affirmative Action Reversal

New data shows varied impacts on racial diversity in college admissions following the Supreme Court's ban on affirmative action.

Asian American enrollment increased at some Ivy League schools like Columbia and Brown, but decreased at others such as Yale and Princeton.
Harvard's Asian American enrollment remained unchanged, while Black and Latino student enrollment saw declines at several prestigious institutions.
MIT experienced the most dramatic decline in Black enrollment, dropping by 8 percentage points, while Asian American enrollment rose by 6 percentage points.
Experts suggest it may take years to fully understand the impact of the Supreme Court decision, as universities are still adjusting to new race-neutral policies.
Some universities have implemented new programs to support diversity, such as Duke's tuition waivers for lower-income students, but many have yet to adapt their admissions processes.
