Higher Education’s Actual Responses to Shifting Demographics, So Far

Abstract

In Short: The size and racial/ethnic mix of students coming to U.S. campuses is shifting rapidly. The growth of Latinx high school graduates is challenging traditionally white campuses and HBCUs. The stories from two states and the radical rethinking they went through are told. Shifting strategies in three states for HBCUs are outlined. Principles for planners for a sustainable future are reviewed.
