After the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in higher
education, there was legitimate worry that Black and Hispanic
students would be overlooked or otherwise shut out of college
admissions. But the enrollment numbers are showing something
different. In some cases, even without the aid of race-based
decision making, Black and Hispanic enrollment either stayed the
same or increased.

What does the data tell about the decisions admissions offices are
making when thinking about demographics of their student body? And
what does that process mean for future culture clashes about
diversity and inclusion? NPR's Elissa Nadworny and labor economist
Zach Bleemer join the show to get into the enigmatic world of
college admissions and why higher education is still pushing for
diversity in an anti-DEI minefield.
