Fourteen months after the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), the university has reported significant declines in the enrollment of Black and Hispanic students for the current academic year.
Last fall, Black students comprised 10.5% of new enrollees, while Hispanic students made up 10.8% of the incoming class. However, the latest figures show a more than 25% drop in the number of new Black first-year and transfer students, and a 7% decrease in new Hispanic students.
