Minority Report
American universities are accepting more minorities than ever. Graduating them is another
matter.
BarryMills,thepresidentofBowdoinCollege,wasjustifiablyproudofBowdoin'seffortsto
recruitminoritystudents.Since2003thesmall,eliteliberalartsschoolinBrunswick,Maine,has
boostedtheproportionofso-calledunder-representedminoritystudentsinenteringfreshman
classesfrom8%to13%."Itisourresponsibilitytoreachoutandattractstudentstocometoour
kindsofplaces,"hetoldaNEWSWEEK reporter.ButBowdoinhasnotdonequiteaswellwhenit
comestoactuallygraduatingminorities.While9outof10whitestudentsroutinelygettheir
diplomaswithinsixyears,only7outof10blackstudentsmadeittograduationdayinseveral
recentclasses.
"Ifyoulookatwhoenterscollege,itnowlookslikeAmerica,"saysHilaryPennington,
directorofpostsecondaryprogramsfortheBill&MelindaGatesFoundation,whichhasclosely
studiedenrollmentpatternsinhighereducation."Butifyoulookatwhowalksacrossthestagefora
diploma,it'sstilllargelythewhite,upper-incomepopulation."
TheUnitedStatesoncehadthehighestgraduationrateofanynation.Nowitstands10th.For
thefirsttimeinAmericanhistory,thereistheriskthattherisinggenerationwillbelesswell
educatedthanthepreviousone.Thegraduationrateamong25-to34-year-oldsisnobetterthanthe
rateforthe55-to64-year-oldswhoweregoingtocollegemorethan30yearsago.Studiesshow
thatmoreandmorepoorandnon-whitestudentswanttograduatefromcollege–buttheir
graduationratesfallfarshortoftheirdreams.Thegraduationratesforblacks,Latinos,andNative
AmericanslagfarbehindthegraduationratesforwhitesandAsians.Astheminoritypopulation
growsintheUnitedStates,lowcollegegraduationratesbecomeathreattonationalprosperity.
Theproblemispronouncedatpublicuniversities.In2007theUniversityofWisconsin-
Madison–oneofthetopfiveorsoprestigiouspublicuniversities–graduated81%ofitswhite
studentswithinsixyears,butonly56%ofitsblacks.Atless-selectivestateschools,thenumbersget
worse.Duringthesametimeframe,theUniversityofNorthernIowagraduated67%ofitswhite
students,butonly39%ofitsblacks.Communitycollegeshavelowgraduationratesgenerally–but
rock-bottomratesforminorities.ArecentreviewofCaliforniacommunitycollegesfoundthat
whileathirdoftheAsianstudentspickeduptheirdegrees,only15%ofAfrican-Americansdidso
aswell.
Privatecollegesanduniversitiesgenerallydobetter,partlybecausetheyoffersmallerclasses
andmorepersonalattention.Butwhenitcomestoasignificantgraduationgap,Bowdoinhas
company.NearbyColbyCollegeloggedan18-pointdifferencebetweenwhiteandblackgraduates

Princeton–showalmostnogapbetweenblackandwhitegraduationrates.Butthatmayhavemore
todowiththeirabilitytoselectthebeststudents.AccordingtodatagatheredbyHarvardLaw
SchoolprofessorLainGainer,themostselectiveschoolsaremorelikelytochooseblackswhohave
atleastoneimmigrantparentfromAfricaortheCaribbeanthanblackstudentswhoaredescendants
ofAmericanslaves.
"Highereducationhasbeenabletoduckthisissueforyears,particularlythemoreselective
schools,bysayingtheresponsibilityisontheindividualstudent,"saysPenningtonoftheGates
