The document analyzes enrollment trends in higher education over the past 15 years and finds that the system reinforces racial inequalities. It finds that 82% of new white enrollments have gone to the most selective 468 colleges, while 72% of Hispanic and 68% of African American enrollments have gone to two-year open access schools. As a result, whites attend colleges with greater resources that lead to higher completion rates, graduate enrollment, future earnings and degrees - even for equally qualified students - perpetuating racial inequalities across generations.
