Checking in on the new college admissions reality
Some colleges and universities say Native American admissions for the class of 2028 have suffered after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down race-conscious recruitment.

Harvard University reports a drop in enrollment for Native students and other students of color. Other colleges say it’s still too early to say.

Tune into Native America Calling to get an update on the trends for Native enrollment in post-secondary education and how Native students can adjust to the new admissions reality.
