Initial Data Suggest Decrease In Black Freshman At Selective Colleges
Forbes ^ | October 27, 2025 | Michael T. Nietzel

- A new analysis shows that of 22 selective-admissions institutions, 20 showed declines in the the share of enrolled black freshmen in the years since the Supreme Court banned race-conscious admissions. Nine saw declines of 30% or more.

Ever since the Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill (SFFA) banned the use of race-conscious college admissions, speculation has turned to the impact the ruling would have on the racial composition of incoming classes, particularly at selective institutions, essentially the only schools where consideration of race played a role in admission decisions prior to SFFA.

Now, initial data have been collected suggesting that one of the main effects might be a decrease in the percentage of black freshmen enrolled at almost all of the analyzed institutions.

Less blacks in “selective colleges” (read — most woke) might be best for the black students.

smart blacks should applaud this outcome since now everyone will know they earned their degrees and were not just given them.

All the ‘professuhs’ who got graduate degrees in black studies and other useless racist garbage like that, are going to be furious. Colleges stuck unqualified black students and athletes in these courses just to keep up appearances of the successful black student. In reality they just eliminated ANY standards for the unqualified blacks to churn out another group of indoctrinated ignorant black graduates. I saw it when it was just getting started in college and then REALLY saw it when I had interns from a university in Texas that had black students in 3rd and 4th year of college who could barely read and could not even speak proper English. They had no business in engineering courses. None.

A black female dentist I know has said that kind of thing many times. She says that the handicapping of black applicants (before we called it DEI) to dental school makes people like her look bad because people assume she didn’t earn it.

Colleges must accept only students who have earned the right to be there. No more concessions to under achieving demographics. No more admittance to crimigrants.

Get education back to where we were in the 50s. Performance oriented.

No one says a word about the NFL or NBA.

Shouldn’t they be forced to practice DEI if the rest of us are mandated to?

They too should “look like America” so everyone can have “equity.”

If the students who don’t get accepted into a selective college go instead to one where most of the students have SAT or ACT scores similar to theirs, they have a better chance of doing well and graduating. I teach at a non-selective college and some of my best students this term are black students.

Interesting enough those two pro leagues have roughly around 22/3% (NBA 19.1% and NFL 25.1%) of their players on the surface at the top level as white. The current population of blacks in the US compared to everyone else is 14%. That’s their way of protecting their investments. Spin!

Yep!

If they want to get into a decent college, their parent(s) should tell them to study hard - beginning in first grade. The ones who do that, and continue that habit throughout their school years, should be rewarded with college admission somewhere.

Well, I would not blame it on the “nation,” but I would blame it on Democrats and the lamestream media. They just will not let it go.
