H.O. Top 100 Colleges and Universities for Hispanics

It is a well-established fact that the Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S., which currently represents nearly 20% of the total, continues to grow. As a result, Hispanic/Latino students will continue to have an important presence in higher education, and colleges and universities across the country will be the vehicles of social mobility and stalwarts of support for students from diverse backgrounds that they have always been, regardless of ever-shifting political developments. As part of its commitment to providing readers with concrete data on the Hispanic/Latino community, Hispanic Outlook presents its annual lists of Hispanic/Latino students’ presence in higher education, recognizing the specific institutions with the highest Hispanic/Latino enrolments and degrees and providing an overview of general trends across these top 100 institutions.

Free Tuition Doesn’t Mean Free College Students Point Out - 2018

Editor’s Note: Last year, Hispanic Outlook reported on the then fledgling Excelsior Scholarship and its potential impact on students pursuing higher education in New York State. As part of our coverage, we ran a story courtesy of the Associate Press about how the program covering tuition fees does not equal zero costs when it comes to college. Now, with the Excelsior Scholarship solidly integrated into the academic landscape of New York State, it is time to revisit these concerns as part of Book Marks, our throw back feature that demonstrates how predictive some of our past features have been in forecasting upcoming trends and issues in education.

Hispanic Serving Institutions May 2018 Issue

According to the U.S. Department of Education, “a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is defined as an institution of higher education that—(A) is an eligible institution; and (B) has an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application.” While this definition nicely sums up the requirements a school must meet to become an HSI, being an HSI and truly serving the Hispanic community goes beyond statistics. And so we here at Hispanic Outlook are running an ongoing article series highlighting those schools that have achieved HSI status and how they are truly Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

The Funding Paradox In Today’s Higher Education <b> by William Ruiz-Morales </b>

Last year, for the first time, 28 states in the U.S. reported that more than 50 percent of the funds of higher education institutions were generated from tuition and not from state or local funds.1 Also, even when state support has been increasing since the recession in 2008, this year’s growth was only 1.6 percent, the lowest in the past five years. These statistics among others are evidence of a tendency to withdraw taxpayers’ funds from universities especially public ones. The institutions that are more impacted are generally the ones more in need of those funds. The cuts in state funding tend to affect mainly public universities due to smaller endowments than private institutions.
