Report: Hispanic Achievement Gap Persists:
"The 2009 Tomás Rivera Lecture, 'Hispanicity and Educational Inequality: Risks, Opportunities and the Nations' Future,' documents Hispanic demographics, growth trends, educational attainment and various road blocks leading to Hispanic underrepresentation in higher education. The report was authored by Marta Tienda, Ph.D., a professor of sociology at Princeton University, and reproduces the keynote address she delivered at the annual AAHHE conference in March 2009, in Texas.
'AAHHE is delighted that ETS's Policy Information Center decided to publish and distribute Professor Tienda's Tomás Rivera Lecture,' Loui Olivas, AAHHE president says. 'The data she has amassed must be understood by educators, administrators and policymakers if together we are going to address Hispanic educational attainment systematically.'"
