Unfortunately we have data. And it's not good. Minority preferences gave us data on how students who are not really the academic equal of other students end up doing in college- some succeed, most fail, even with extra help. The results were pretty dismal. When looking at the CSRDE (2003) six year graduation rates for student who began college in the fall 1994 semester, we find that for whites 56.9 percent graduated within six years, compared with 41.7 percent of black students, 41.7 percent of Hispanics, and 35.8 percent of American Indians. Again, Asian students not only persisted at the highest rate but graduated at the highest rate (61.1 percent). cscsr.org
