Do Affirmative Action Bans Lower Minority College Enrollment and Attainment?: Evidence from Statewide Bans
利用种族细分的高校入学和毕业数据，研究了全州平权行动禁令对少数族裔学生进入公立四年制大学及获得学位的影响，发现顶尖院校中黑人和西班牙裔入学率下降，但整体公立大学入学率未显著降低，毕业率影响则不确定。
Using institutional data on race-specific college enrollment and completion, I examine whether minority students were less likely to enroll in a four-year public college or receive a degree following a statewide affirmative action ban. As in previous studies, I find that black and Hispanic enrollment dropped at the top institutions; however, there is little evidence that overall black enrollment at public universities fell. Finally, despite evidence that fewer blacks and Hispanics graduated from college following a ban, the effects on graduation rates are very noisy.
