- Achieving Racial and Economic Diversity with Race-Blind Admissions PolicyCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Rose, Stephen J. (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2014)The authors take a groundbreaking look at how socioeconomic affirmative action programs, percentage plans, or a combination of the two, could work at the nation’s most selective 193 institutions. This book chapter appears in The Future of Affirmative Action: New Paths to Higher Education Diversity after Fisher v. University of Texas authored by Richard D. Kahlenberg.
- The Concept of “Mismatch” at Play in the Supreme Court Fisher Decision is Empirically UnsoundCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Van Der Werf, Martin (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2016)The authors provide analysis of nationally representative data that refutes the mismatch theory. The data shows just the opposite: three times more students are qualified to attend selective colleges and universities than actually go to them. In fact, when average students are placed in the nation’s best colleges and universities, they will graduate at a much higher rate. Rather than being intimidated by not being able to meet the standards of their peers, as Justices Scalia and Thomas have suggested, these students are instead challenged by the circumstances, and succeed at a rate comparable to their peers.
- Cual es su Valor? El Valor Económico de las Carreras UniversitariasCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Melton, Michelle (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2015)Este reporte detalla las relaciones entre carreras universitarias, género, raza/etnia, asistencia a escuelas de posgrado, e ingresos. Se hace un análisis de la diferencia en ingresos de las carreras universitarias de acuerdo con información nacional.
- Educational Adequacy in the Twenty-First CenturyCarnevale, Anthony P.; Gulish, Artem; Strohl, Jeff (The Century Foundation, 2018-05-02)Educational adequacy has evolved over the decades of American history to become an established responsibility of state governments, following a series of court cases in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. Educational adequacy is a broad concept that includes economic, academic, social, civic, and humanistic aspects, among others. In this report, the authors propose a new concrete standard for educational adequacy focused on the demonstrated capacity of postsecondary programs to provide economic self-sufficiency to graduates, based on the earnings of students who complete educational programs. We acknowledge that reality is complex, and so it will be necessary to adjust this standard in applying it to the real world.
- How Increasing College Access Is Increasing Inequality, and What to Do About ItCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2010-06-03)The authors share their research on a coherent and concrete way for colleges and universities to provide a leg up to economically disadvantaged students in the selective college admissions. This research was referenced in the affirmative action Supreme Court Case Fisher vs. University of Texas in two amicus briefs: Fisher I: Brief of the American Association for Affirmative Action as Amicus Curiae in Support of Respondent and Fisher II: Brief of Richard D. Kahlenberg as Amicus Curiae in Support of Neither Party. This book chapter appears in Rewarding Strivers edited by Richard D. Kahlenberg.
- Our Separate & Unequal Public Colleges: How Public Colleges Reinforce White Racial Privilege and Marginalize Black and Latino Students, 2018Carnevale, Anthony P.; Van Der Werf, Martin; Quinn, Michael C.; Strohl, Jeff; Repnikov, Dmitri (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2018-11-12)This report points out that misguided admissions practices and growing funding gaps are splitting the public higher education system into two unequal tracks demarcated by race.
- SAT-Only Admission: How Would It Change College Campuses?Carnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Van Der Werf, Martin; Quinn, Michael C.; Peltier Campbell, Kathryn (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2019)The competition to get into America’s most selective colleges and universities is fierce. Some top universities admit as few as 5 percent of applicants. Judging from how much high school students and their parents worry about standardized test scores, one might presume that an SAT or ACT score is the primary factor in college admissions—and that those admitted with lower scores are an exception to the rule. But a look at the numbers reveals a different reality. This report finds that this admissions policy would replace 53% of incoming students, creating a less racially diverse and slightly more affluent student body.
- Separados y Desiguales - Como la educación superior fomenta la reproducción intergeneracional del privilegio racialCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2013-07-01)Este reporte muestra que cada año estudiantes Afroamericanos e Hispanos calificados para la educación superior no obtienen un título universitario. Desde 1995, el 82 por ciento de las matrículas de estudiantes blancos ocurren en las 468 universidades más selectivas, mientras que las matrículas para los estudiantes Afroamericanos (68%) e Hispanos (72%) ocurren en universidades de admisión abierta de dos y cuatro años de duración. Este informe argumenta cómo el sistema de educación superior es cada vez más cómplice y asume un rol pasivo en la reproducción sistemática del privilegio racial blanco.
- Separate & Unequal: How Higher Education Reinforces the Intergenerational Reproduction of White Racial PrivilegeCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2013-07-01)The American postsecondary system is a dual system of racially separate and unequal institutions despite the growing access of minorities to the postsecondary system. Affluent white students as well as prestige seeking four-year colleges are flowing to the top tiers of selectivity, while lower income minority students are flooding low tuition, open-access, two- and four-year institutions. This report argues how the postsecondary system is more and more complicit as a passive agent in the systematic reproduction of white racial privilege across generations.
- Three Educational Pathways to Good Jobs: High School, Middle Skills, and Bachelor’s DegreeCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Ridley, Neil; Gulish, Artem (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2018-10-16)In the post-World War II period, workers with a high school diploma or less were able to attain jobs with middle-class wages in American industry. Good jobs were available in manufacturing and other blue-collar industries that employed large numbers of high school educated workers. But as automation, globalization, and related phenomena have led to major structural changes in the American economy, economic opportunity has shifted toward more educated workers with higher skill levels. Whereas two out of three entry-level jobs in the industrial economy demanded a high school diploma or less, now two out of three jobs demand at least some education or training beyond high school. This report examines the three pathways to good jobs, each defined by education and skills: the high school pathway, the middle-skills pathway, and the bachelor’s degree (BA) pathway.
- The Unequal Race for Good Jobs: How Whites Made Outsized Gains in Education and Good Jobs Compared to Blacks and LatinosCarnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Gulish, Artem; Van Der Werf, Martin; Peltier Campbell, Kathryn (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2019-10-16)Inequities in access to good jobs by race and ethnicity have grown in past decades. White workers are more likely than Black or Latino workers to have a good job at every level of educational attainment. This report explores how White workers have relied on their educational and economic privileges to build disproportionate advantages in the educational pipeline and the workforce. Black and Latino workers, on the other hand, have strived to overcome discrimination, racism, and other injustices that continue to perpetuate earnings inequality. Policy changes can help narrow these equity gaps; otherwise, they will continue for generations to come.
- What’s It Worth?Carnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Melton, Michelle (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2015)What’s It Worth? This report details the relationships between major, gender, race/ethnicity, and annual earnings of Hispanic students.
