Breaking college barriers for students of color
‘About 1 in 4 Latino or Black students graduate college within five years, compared to more than 6 in 10 white students on average who graduate within that same time.
Kellie J. Sigh sees the problem every day, from both a race and income inequality perspective. ‘Scholars who are coming from more affluent backgrounds who more often or not identify as white are two to three times more likely to graduate with a college degree than one who comes from a limited income background,’ said Sigh.’
