After last month’s defeat of a California ballot measure to revive affirmative action in higher education admissions and hiring, other ways to increase diversity among faculty and students at the state’s colleges and universities are moving front and center.
Disappointed supporters of Proposition 16 are adjusting to the reality that they failed to overturn the state’s 24-year-old ban on affirmative action. But they, along with some opponents of Prop 16, also advocate for alternatives that could bolster the enrollment and graduation rates of Black, Latino and Native American students at the state’s higher education campuses without violating the law that forbids any racial preferences. Proposition 16’s loss should propel expansion of efforts long underway and the start of new ones, focusing especially on low-income students and those who are in the first generation of their families to attend college, they say.
Never-before-released data from the federal government has shed new light on the debt burden of low-income families in California.
More than 13,500 low-income students attending California’s two public university systems had parents take out federal loans on their behalf in recent years, according to a CalMatters analysis of figures released by the U.S. Department of Education last week for every college in the nation.
The numbers show how much parents borrow in federal loans for their students by campus, filling a prominent hole in the public’s understanding of student loan debt.
The data paint a complicated picture of what some experts call intergenerational college debt. Relatively few low-income parents of students enrolled at the University of California and California State University borrowed. The average median of those that did was approximately $10,500, slightly less than the national average median of $12,500.
