Abstract | The instability of the U.S. economy and its competitiveness in the global market has lead to increase request for investment in Higher Education programs. There exists a rising awareness among scholars of how inextricably education is tied to the strength of the economy, the well being of its populace, as well as the importance of a diversified student body. However, there still remain complex financial barriers for African American students' ability in meeting the cost of rising tuition with the lack of race conscious financial aid. Race conscious financial aid has been attributed to minority academic success and ensuring equal access to college which is in keeping with Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in the context of Higher Learning Institutions, the enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Affirmative Action policies. Proponents argue its constitutionality. (As Provided). |
