\"\" A new report from the Georgetown University\u2019s Center on Education and the Workforce finds that despite being funded by all taxpayers, selective public colleges do not serve all segments of their states\u2019 populations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn reality, the doors of these colleges are open wider to white students than to their black and Latino peers,\u201d the report, Our Separate & Unequal Public Colleges: How Public Colleges Reinforce White Racial Privilege and Marginalize Black and Latino Students<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>states.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the report, whites have almost two-thirds (64 percent) of the seats in selective public colleges even though they make up barely half (54 percent) of the nation\u2019s college-age population. The vast majority of black and Latino students enroll in \u201covercrowded and underfunded open-access colleges, primarily community colleges,\u201d the report found.<\/a><\/p>\n

Citing the disparity in fairness and money, the report noted selective public colleges are spending nearly three times as much per student on instructional and academic support as public open-access colleges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a matter of equity. It\u2019s a matter of determining the future,\u201d the report concluded.<\/p>\n
