If the rate were cut to 5.1%, 200,000 more Hispanics would graduate from high school that year!

Hispanic drop out rate was 30.1%.

Hispanic Higher EducationHispanic Higher EducationEducation is the key, of course!

In the last 30 years, the number of Hispanics in college has grown 5x, from 618,000 to 3,192,000, making up 17% of undergrads.

The college-going rate for recent high school grads hasincreased from 44% to 60%.

between 15 and 25% Hispanic, and more of them emerging every year, it’s not hard to predict

that by 2046, there will be over 800 HSIs.

Hispanic FacultyHispanic FacultyThis growth in Hispanic college undergrads today provides a

much larger pool for Hispanic college faculty of tomorrow.

In 1992, Hispanics made up only 2.7% of FT college faculty.

1992 TodayToday, it’s up to 4.5%, but still way below our 17% share of the student population.

2046And if Hispanics in 2046 will make up more than 30% of the U.S. population, we have a long way to go . . .
