A report from the National Association of State Universities shows rising black freshman enrollment at 94 institutions, but overall undergrad and grad shares remain low. Despite some gains since 1968, only 5.97 percent of undergraduates and 4.05 percent of graduates are black, with segregation persisting at white and historically black institutions.
