The Department of Ethnic Studies UC Berkeley

Professors Nicholas Vargas and Gina Ann Garcia (Berkeley School of Education) have just published an important new policy brief: California’s Non-College Goers: Latinos Surpass Other Ethnoracial Groups in a Hispanic-Serving State. Among their critical findings: in 2021 there were far more Latino students who graduated high school but did not enroll in college (96,208) than the total number of newly enrolled students in all UC and CSU campuses combined (85,054). 

 

Thank you, Nicholas, for this important work!
