Research Brief: Predominantly Black Institutions: Pathways to Black Student Educational Attainment

hillarya — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 14:50:36 +0000

Executive Summary

Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) account for 3% of all postsecondary institutions, yet enroll 9% of all Black college students (Office of Postsecondary Education, 2018). These institutions provide an avenue for educational access and opportunity for many Black students pursuing higher education. Despite the growing number of PBIs and the number of Black students they educate, these institutions still remain one of the least researched Minority Serving Institution (MSI) types in the country. The very limited literature that does exist on PBIs is not extensive, and in many cases, the scholarship simply mentions PBIs amidst a discussion on other more researched MSIs. Much of the literature does not delve into how these institutions are supporting their students, how they are continuing to strive, despite limited resources, and the value these institutions add to the overall higher education landscape. As the number of African Americans enrolling in colleges and universities steadily increases and as institutions shift towards creating more inclusive environments for all students, there is a need for further exploration of how PBIs are evolving to best accommodate the marginalized groups they serve, particularly low-income Black students. This research brief will examine five PBIs that have received federal funding to enhance institutional capacity to support more low-income Black students, and highlight how these institutions are providing educational opportunity to Black students.

Report: Race & Ethnicity in Higher Education

hillarya — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 23:37:31 +0000

6 Key Findings From the ACE Report on Race & Ethnicity in Higher Ed
By Zenia Henderson, Director of Member & Partner Engagement, National College Access Network

Last month, the American Council on Education (ACE) released the much-anticipated report “Race & Ethnicity in Higher Education.” The organization hosted a release convening to highlight the report’s key findings. The convening also included two panel sessions, and you can view a recording of the event here.

Read on for a summary of the findings and the critical discussion points made by the panelists.

6 Key Findings

To no one’s surprise, the U.S. population has become more educated and more racially and ethnically diverse over the last 20 years. The report found that 45 percent of the total population ages 25 and older had obtained at least an associate degree – that’s a 13 percentage-point increase since 1997. This is attributed primarily to the growing Hispanic population that is seeking higher education more now than it was 20 years ago.

This report examines over 200 indicators, looking at who gains access to a host of educational environments and experiences, and how these trajectories differ, by race and ethnicity. In addition, invited scholarly essays provide further context around race and ethnicity in higher education that data alone cannot tell. Download the full report or individual chapters, below.
