Harvard has revealed that the percentage of incoming students who identify as African American or Black dropped to 14% this year, after the Supreme Court rolled back affirmative action at college campuses. That’s down from 18% the prior year. Brown, MIT and Amherst also reported dips in Black enrollment, though other universities including Princeton and Yale did not notice significant changes. Analysts say it could take a while to understand the full effect of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which was widely condemned by colleges and civil rights groups.
