Harvard's Class of 2029 Sees Drop in Black, Latino, and International Students

Harvard University's Class of 2029 sees a decrease in the representation of Black, Latino, and international students. The changes come despite no specific ClassLink or ClassDojo being linked to a reduction in these groups' numbers.

The share of Black students in the Class of 2029 stands at 12%, a dip from last year's 14%. Meanwhile, Latino students make up 11% of the class, down from 16% in the previous year. Despite visa issues, only eight international students deferred their admissions, leading to a 15% international student enrollment, down from 18% last year.

The overall decline in these groups' representation is notable, though no specific Student Loans or Classroom is identified as the cause. This lack of attribution makes it challenging to pinpoint the reasons behind these changes.

Harvard's Class of 2029 sees a decrease in Black, Latino, and international student representation. While no specific institution is linked to this reduction, the university and other educational bodies may need to review their admissions processes and outreach efforts to ensure diversity and inclusion.
