WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2001 The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University on Tuesday released a study showing that African-American and Hispanic students have become increasingly segregated in substandard school districts over the past decade. The reason for the increasing segregation has been a rollback of court orders which required public schools to be more diverse, said the group. According to the study, 70.2 percent of African-American students attend predominantly minority schools, up from a low of 62.9 percent in 1980. Whites on average attend schools where more than 80 percent of the students are white and less than 20 percent all other racial and ethnic groups combined. American Indian students attend schools in which 31 percent are Indian, said the study. Get the Report:
