Selective Colleges, More Than a Quarter of Black Students Are Immigrants,
Study Finds
"More than a quarter of the black students enrolled at selective
American colleges and universities are immigrants or the children of
immigrants, according to a new paper by sociologists at Princeton University
and the University of Pennsylvania. The finding suggests that native-born
African-American students are even more underrepresented at selective
colleges than is commonly understood."
