Anthony P. Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, says that "white flight" in higher education is creating huge inequities in racial fairness in higher education.

Article is very factual and well sourced and it is the Washington Post too.

quote:

Since the 1990s, the number of black and Latino high school graduates who enroll in college has more than doubled. But three-quarters of that increase has been at open-access colleges. Meanwhile, white college enrollment has increased only at the nation’s top 500 universities. As a result, American higher education has evolved into a two-tiered separate and unequal system that fuels the intergenerational reproduction of white racial privilege.


Here is yet another documented example of white privilege.

A side effect, if not an ancillary goal of otherwise well meaning heavy handed forced busing and integration policies. In essence, problems created by this (including sprawl and urban decay) is largely the fault of failed baby-boomer era policies.

I'd read the rest of the article, but there's not a link.

They'll find something to complain about no matter what.


BTW: I'm down for some hot yoga if you are.

Open access colleges are the greatest abusers of the federal student loan program and generally have degrees that useless and have no value.

Cowardly white flight has caused lots of problems - black only inner city ghettos, higher education de factoid segregation, gentrification and displacement of traditional neighborhoods, etc.

Some of them are very clearly holding their students back with debt and degrees that are difficult to market. I'm trying to be diplomatic with my words here.

I find it strange that the brave populations of the inner cities have not yet turned their safe spaces into absolute utopias.

You're my favorite kind of liberal. In the 1900's, you'd be weeping at the plight of the "noble savages" while sitting idly in your drawing room, sipping tea.

more like white savior status

the argument is that minorities are so defective culturally that they cannot do well in school unless they are forced to siphon cultural values from the white saviors

how fricking racist is that?

The soft bigotry of low expectations?

Nah, you probably voted for Trump and are therefore a Nazi.

Two things: you cannot make people live where they do not want to live.

Second: unless you happen to live in an urban "diverse" neighborhood no one cares about your moralizing on this subject.

Not cowardly....just a predictable outcome of heavy handed integration policies coming to a head around the same time that FHA loans and commuter freeways became commonplace.

You, like everyone else, are expected to look after you and yours. Once that concept is understood, the impact of well meaning but incredibly short sighted policies like the war on poverty, war on drugs forced integration, and even Obamacare can be predicted within a reasonable degree of certainty. Those predictions are usually ignored and dismissed as "not real" by the progressive left and even sometimes the establishment right.
