In a new study of
4,400 two and four year college and university systems by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW), "Separate and Unequal: How Higher Education Reinforces the Intergenerational Reproduction of White Racial Privilege,” it was found that the higher education system acts as
a means of transferring White privilege from generation to generation. Further,
the authors find that the percentage of White students at the 468 most
well-funded and selective college and universities is increasing relative to
the number of college age students of all races, while African American and Hispanic
students are increasingly attending the 3,250 least well-funded, open-access two
and four year colleges.
The top 468 colleges
spend between two and five times more per student than open-access two and
four year colleges leading to higher graduation
rates giving their graduates a competitive advantage in the
marketplace over equally qualified African American and Hispanic graduates of
less well-funded institutions.
