Title: Underrepresented Minorities: Making it to and Staying in Postsecondary Educations (Policy Notes)
Description: With specific respect to postsecondary education, a consistent set of findings underscores how poorly United States postsecondary education institutions serve segments of the population. In general, students of color make up about 30 percent of students on United States campuses. About 20 percent of the college students designated as minorities were born outside the United States or have a foreign-born parent, and slightly over 10 percent spoke a language other than English while growing up. Slightly over 10 percent of students in higher education are diagnosed as having disabilities and special needs.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/postsecond.pdf 64kb, 10pp
