The entering and graduating classes at many of the nationâ??s leading public universities are looking less and less like the state populations they were founded to serve, a report said Wednesday. The follow-up to a 2006 analysis of federal data concludes that 50 public flagships, one in each state, “continue to enroll students who are far richer and far whiter” than most in their states, says Kati Haycock, director of the non-profit Education Trust, which released both reports.
