Blacks

Axios - Roughly 16% of incoming freshmen at MIT are Black, Hispanic, Native American or Pacific Islander, down from a recent average of 25%, The New York Times reports. Campus officials say it's a direct result of the Supreme Court striking down the use of affirmative action in college admissions.

Other schools have seen similar patterns.

  • When Michigan outlawed affirmative action in 2006, Black students' share of total undergraduate enrollment fell by about half.
  • And California experienced a comparable decline in the 1990s.
