平权行动禁令后,阿肯色州大学的少数族裔入学人数猛增
一些教育专家认为,最高法院的裁决并不是推动入学人口统计的因素,而是列举了扩大的外展工作、增加的经济援助机会以及取消申请费。
来源:The College Fix新数据显示,自 2023 年最高法院判决禁止基于种族的招生以来,阿肯色州大学的少数族裔入学人数非但没有下降,反而有所增加。
根据《阿肯色商业报》审查的阿肯色州高等教育部数据,2023 年至 2025 年间,黑人新生入学率增加了约 25%,拉美裔入学率增加了 22% 以上。
In contrast, enrollment of new white students grew just 1.9 percent during that time, the journal found.
“The increases at some of Arkansas’ largest universities are even more dramatic,” the report added. “从 2023 年到 2025 年,该州最大的大学阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校的黑人新生入学人数增加了 30.3%,西班牙裔新生入学人数增加了 36.1%。”
Comparatively, white freshman students only “grew by 4.9% at the school during that time.”
一些教育专家认为,最高法院的裁决并不是推动入学人口统计的因素,而是列举了扩大的外展工作、增加的经济援助机会以及取消申请费。
But not everyone agrees that properly explains the trends.
“仅靠外展和经济援助不应导致学生人口结构发生巨大变化,”加州平等权利基金会执行董事吴文远告诉 The College Fix。
She said test-optional admissions policies implemented in Arkansas several years ago may be a factor.
“Going test-optional or test-free has long been suspected as a proxy for racial balancing,” Wu said. “Universities and colleges are circumventing the ruling in innovative ways.”
According to Wu, it is still too early to determine whether the increases represent a lasting trend.
她认为,需要进行更全面的分析,以检查新入学的学生是否表现出相似的学术准备和表现水平。
正如 The College Fix 之前报道的那样,另一个可能的因素可能是“级联效应”。
