The new numbers showed drops in black, Hispanic, and American Indian students, while the percentage of white students stayed relatively the same. However, the proportion of Asian students in the incoming class skyrocketed. MIT’s announcement comes after some universities have refused to release the demographic data on their new classes.
Overall, about 16% of the new class is made up of black, Hispanic, and American Indian students, a drop from the 25% those students made up in recent classes. Compared to the class of 2027, the class immediately before the newest one, black student enrollment dropped from 15% to 5%, and Hispanic students dropped from 16% to 11%. White students dropped slightly, from 38% to 37%.
The demographic changes in the class of 2028 bear out evidence used in the Supreme Court case, which came about after SFFA sued Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. SFFA provided evidence showing that black students were being admitted at a much higher rate despite having lower SAT scores, and those slots were being taken from Asian students, who, on average, are the highest-performing demographic in education.
