“…One audit study found no differences in getting a job interview between someone with a high school degree and someone who attended a for-profit institution (Darolia et al 2015). For-profit colleges practice unethical recruiting, target vulnerable populations such as racial minorities and people with low incomes (Dougherty et al 2016;Lahr et al 2014), provide low-quality education, produce lower graduation rates, saddle students with more student debt, and offer fewer job prospects than their peer institutions (Cellini and Koedel 2017;Gilpin and Stoddard 2017;Lynch, Engle, and Cruz 2010;Schade 2014). Because for-profit schools are part of the bottom of the avalanche, there can be no more displacement into a lower category.…”

The study of affirmative action bans suffers from focusing on the ivory tower as the site for the impacts of affirmative action bans. Prior literature on affirmative action bans has missed the bigger picture, failing to see that less glamorous schools have also been impacted by the bans. This article fully fleshes out the impacts of affirmative action on postsecondary education by their level of selectivity (Barron’s Admissions Competitiveness Index) and sector (private, public, and for profit) from a merged data set (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and the Current Population Survey) spanning 1991 to 2016. The results of a differences-in-differences analysis find that a small group of for-profit institutions with very large enrollments became a destination for underrepresented minority students in the wake of affirmative action bans.

College Selectivity, Choice of Major, and Post-College Earnings

College choice and choice of major are the most important decisions for future earnings. It is still unclear, however, what makes a greater difference—college or major—or whether a choice of college matters more for some majors, but not the others. Using cross-classified models and College Scorecard data, I show that a discipline is more consequential for future earnings than a college. The effect of STEM is substantial but is less pronounced at institutions with higher overall median earnings. The effect of college selectivity on earnings is more pronounced for non-STEM disciplines. Institutional characteristics—such as tuition, shares of graduates receiving different forms of financial aid, institutional size and location, and type of college—correlate with earnings of graduates. Racial and gender composition of an educational program correlate with expected earnings of its graduates even after control for other institutional and disciplinary characteristics. Models presented here provide a better understanding of the effect of college and major choices on future earnings.
