Black student enrollment at HBCUs increases following Supreme Court’s race-based admissions decision, while enrollment at private white institutions drops. Supreme Court ruling impacts 50 institutions, reducing or eliminating $45m in race-conscious scholarships. HBCU enrollment up 4%, with several universities reporting larger freshman classes. Asian-American student enrollment drops at Yale and Princeton. HBCUs credit new retention, recruitment efforts, and academic support, alongside $16bn from Biden-Harris administration, for enrollment surge. However, Black male enrollment at HBCUs nears 50-year low, equal to non-Black student share.
