Post Supreme Court’s affirmative action strike-down, Black student enrollment drops at top institutions, including MIT, Amherst College, Tufts University, and University of Virginia. Black male enrollment at HBCUs also declines, attributed to inadequate K-12 integration. Affirmative action ensured fair admission consideration for all students. The impact on HBCUs’ numbers due to lack of affirmative action remains to be seen. College admissions brace for enrollment declines due to preference for vocational programs, high education costs, and declining birth rates.
