Abstract

The article focuses on the decline in Black and Hispanic enrollment at highly selective colleges following the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action in admissions. An analysis of data from 27 elite institutions revealed that most reported lower percentages of Black and Hispanic freshmen in fall 2025 compared to fall 2023, while Asian enrollment remained stable or increased at over half of the schools. The article highlights the ongoing impact of the affirmative action ban on campus diversity and discusses the scrutiny from the White House regarding admissions practices, as well as the pressure on colleges to maintain racial diversity amid federal oversight.
