| Description | "The number of minority students on America's campuses has more than doubled since 1981, but white students are still more likely to attend college, a new report says.
The Minorities in Higher Education Annual Status Report issued Wednesday by the American Council on Education found that the number of minority high school graduates between the ages of 18 to 24 attending U.S. schools jumped from nearly 2 million in 1980-81 to 4.3 million in 2000-01.
Despite the gains, the ACE said only 40 percent of African-Americans and 34 percent of Hispanics attend college, compared to 46 percent of whites, continuing a disparity that was even worse in the late 1980s but still persists." |
