Diversity tanks.
Class of 2027 admits v. 2028
Black: 15% —> 5%
Hispanic: 16% —> 11%
White: 38% —> 37%
Asian: 40% —> 47%

In fall 2024, UNC admitted fewer percentages of students of color, with percentages of Black students in the class dropping around 25 percent from 2023.

Read the full story: "Students see admissions' diversity impact since affirmative action repeal" https://t.co/sAsy3aGbxl

I mean we already knew what they meant with their initial lawsuit but this second one confirms they explicitly wanted to end diversity admissions for us and us only https://t.co/GuiizeZ1aQ

For two more Massachusetts schools, predictions that a Supreme Court decision last year that ended affirmative action in college admissions would result in less diverse student bodies appear to be materializing. https://t.co/HeGKgSG9BI

When you focus on diversifying the applicant pool, you don't have to lower the standards. In fact, Duke Medical School's applicants' GPAs INCREASED as the school became more diverse.

And here's the thing: Even though the % of nonwhite students increased… pic.twitter.com/KR9doVeTCl
