Higher education segregation refers to the practice of separating students based on their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other factors in institutions of higher education. This form of segregation can occur through policies and practices that limit access to certain schools or programs for certain groups of students. It can also occur through more subtle forms of segregation, such as tracking or academic streaming, where students from different backgrounds are disproportionately placed in different educational tracks or programs. Higher education segregation can perpetuate inequality and limit opportunities for disadvantaged students, leading to unequal outcomes and disparities in access to resources and opportunities. Efforts to address higher education segregation include promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives, implementing affirmative action policies, and providing support services and resources for marginalized students. | Higher education segregation refers to the practice of separating students based on their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other factors in institutions of higher education.
