An Examination of Hispanic College Enrollment and Graduation: Has the Texas Closing the Gaps Plan Been Successful?
Tajalli, Hassan; Ortiz, Marta
Journal of Latinos and Education, v17 n4 p330-343 2018
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Texas "Closing the Gaps by 2015" plan to increase Hispanic enrollment into and graduation from institutions of higher education. This study uses Interrupted Time Series with Comparison Group to analyze 26 years of student cohorts in Texas universities. Controlling for historical enrollment and graduation growth as well as population growth, the results show that Hispanic college enrollment significantly increased as a result of the plan, but graduation did not. Several recommendations are offered for those states that wish to emulate Texas policies of increasing college enrollment and graduation of Hispanics.
