Report: “Rising Tide II: Do Black Students Benefit as Grad Rates Increase?”
Authors: Andrew Howard Nichols, Kimberlee Eberle-Sudré, and Meredith Welch
Organization: The Education Trust
Summary: Graduation rates at higher-education institutions are broadly on the rise, but overall data do not take into account completion rates among students of different races. Of the 232 four-year, public institutions that improved their overall graduation rates from 2003 to 2013, 70 percent also had increased graduation rates among black students. However, the increases among black students’ graduation rates were not as high as the rates among white students at more than half of those institutions.
