Dive Brief:

• More black students in California were enrolled at for-profit colleges than at the state's two university systems combined in 2012, a report finds.
• The same report found that black students were more likely than any other group to attend college but leave without a degree.
• One bright spot: The number of black students in California earning bachelor’s degrees is up from 10 years ago.

Dive Insight:

The report says that black students were hurt by the state ban on affirmative action in education, as well as by budget cuts that resulted in low community college and Cal State system enrollment. A similar report was issued last month on Latino students.
