In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision upholding
affirmative action, this comprehensive and timely book outlines the
agenda for achieving racial justice in higher education in the next
generation. Weaving together current research and a discussion of
overarching demographic, legal, and political issues, the book
focuses on the racial transformation of higher education and the
structural barriers that perpetuate racial stratification at the
postsecondary level. Higher Education and the Color Line includes
chapters that outline the demographic changes in elementary,
secondary, and postsecondary school enrollment; the evolving role
of law and policy; the barriers faced by minority college students;
and the kinds of programs that best serve them. Topics addressed
include financial aid; the role of community colleges;
nontraditional paths to postsecondary education; and the role of
higher education in social and economic mobility. In addition to
providing a thorough and up-to-date assessment of the state of
racial integration in higher education, the book goes beyond the
usual black-and-white analysis to provide a multiethnic perspective
supported by extensive new data. Taken together, these discussions
examine the role of higher education in opening up equal
opportunity for mobility in American society--or in reinforcing the
segregation between white and nonwhite America. It provides insight
for how institutions, states, and the country should be thinking
about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's hope that
affirmative action will no longer be needed in 25 years.
