Annual Report on Minority Access Highlights Gender Gap

The American Council on Education today releases its annual report on the status of minority group members in higher education -- taking special note this year of the fact that while minority women are gaining ground, the educational attainment of males is declining. The report, "Minorities in Higher Education 2010 – Twenty-Fourth Status Report," is a compendium of data from a wide variety of sources, framed by analysis from the higher education umbrella group. It is funded by the GE Foundation.
