Abstract

The role of racial diversity at colleges has been debated for over more than a half a century with limited quasi-experimental evidence from classrooms. To fill this void, I estimate the extent that classmate racial compositions affect Hispanic and African American students at a large and oversubscribed California community college where they are minorities. I find that when minority students are exposed to a greater share of same-race classmates, they are more likely to complete the class with a pass and are more likely to enroll in a same-subject course the subsequent term. The findings are robust to first-time students with the lowest registration priority versus all students and different combinations of fixed effects (e.g., student, class, and instructor race).
大学中代表性不足的少数民族学生:同学的角色
种族多样性在大学中的作用已经被争论了半个多世纪,课堂上的准实验证据有限。为了填补这一空白,我估计了在一所规模庞大、招生过多的加州社区大学,同学的种族构成对西班牙裔和非洲裔美国学生的影响程度,这些学生是少数族裔。我发现,当少数族裔学生接触到更多同种族的同学时,他们更有可能以及格的成绩完成这门课,也更有可能在下一个学期选修同学科的课程。对于注册优先级最低的首次入学学生和所有学生以及固定效应的不同组合(例如,学生、班级和教师种族),研究结果是稳健的。

期刊介绍: Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
