Diversity

Trending this year: As the college-going rates of Hispanics increase and minority representation among high-school graduates grows, colleges and advocacy groups are expanding efforts both to recruit students from historically underrepresented groups and to see them through to graduation. Colleges can still consider race in admissions across most of the country, but such policies could come under strict scrutiny following a decision in June by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case involving admissions policies at the University of Texas at Austin.
