Abstract | This paper examines diversity strategies at selective universities across the U.S., with a particular focus on the effects of legal challenges to race-conscious admissions. Study findings are based on responses to a first-of-its-kind national survey of undergraduate admissions and enrollment management leaders administered in fall 2014. The data include 338 nonprofit four-year institutions that collectively enrolled 2.7 million students and fielded over 3 million applications for admission in 2013-14. This paper focuses on the most widely used and effective diversity strategies, changes in admissions factors after the U.S. Supreme Court's 2013 ruling in "Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin," and the most sought after diversity research and guidance in light of the turbulent legal and political landscape. This work is especially timely in light of the Supreme Court's June 2015 decision to reexamine race-conscious admissions in "Fisher." (As Provided). |
