A coalition of progressive education groups is today sending a letter to the Education Department asking it to collect and publicize:
- Data on applications and admits, disaggregated by race and ethnicity. (It currently disaggregates those data by gender. It only disaggregates enrollments by race/ethnicity.)
- Data on legacy applicants, admits and enrollments, disaggregated by race/ethnicity and by low-income status on enrollments.
- Data on early-decision and early-action applicants, admits and enrollments, disaggregated by race/ethnicity.
The letter was organized by Education Reform Now.
