ACE Report: Colleges More Diverse, but Racial Gaps Persist: While U.S. colleges have grown more racially diverse in recent years, minority students especially Hispanics still lag behind on key measures of academic progress, a new report says.
Those findings were released Wednesday in a biannual report card on minority educational attainment by the American Council on Education (ACE), with financial backing from the GE Foundation.
Overall, postsecondary educational achievement has flat-lined, meaning today's young adults are no better educated than the baby-boomer generation, the report concludes.
'Equality in education for all Americans remains a somewhat elusive goal that we must strive to reach,' said ACE president Molly Corbett Broad.
