| Abstract: | In May 2024, IDRA began a two-year study on the impact of Texas Senate Bill 17's ban on college offices of diversity, equity and inclusion and the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision to significantly limit race-conscious admissions in higher education on marginalized college-going students. The study explores the impact of those changes on high school students' access to college and opportunities for equitable admissions, financial aid and student support at Texas higher education institutions. The preliminary findings from 11 roundtables with 50 students, parents, educators, counselors and community-based organization staff in the fall of 2024 reported here indicate that recent policy changes have affected how college-going students from historically marginalized backgrounds access college information, funding and scholarships, and information about campus resources that could impact their decisions to apply and enroll in Texas colleges and universities. The next phase of this study will convene focus groups and events to discuss ongoing impacts of the policy changes on high school students. |
