The article is just stating reality in a sensationalized way. In summary, the article states that in the majority of cases, what was expected to happen happened - black enrollment went down, Asian enrollment went up. However, in a minority of schools, things didn't follow this pattern. Shocking. The article shines a light on some schools that did not follow this pattern. One major reason is completely inconsistent reporting methods and requirements. This is always the challenge with US universities in everything from academics to athletics. Different states have different reporting laws and there are vastly different requirements for public schools vs. private. What I found interesting was the point that maybe at some schools, this reflects reality - that black students were over-represented to begin with. Different factors that some schools are using like recruiting from rural areas and parental wealth do increase diverse representation in a more equitable and deserving way.
