Six-year college graduation rates for Hispanic and White students from 17 cohorts were analyzed using data from the U.S. Department of Education’s IPED System. Results from regression analyses confirmed statistically significant positive linear trends for Hispanic and White students and statistically significant differences between the two regression lines, with the Hispanic rate of increase almost double that for White students. Adverse impact was found in 9/17 cohorts.
