Black, Hispanic and international enrollment declined at Harvard University as the percentage of Asian American students increased, according to new data released on Thursday.

The shift comes after a Supreme Court ruling that struck down affirmative action in higher education.

The steepest drop at Harvard was among Hispanic students, which declined from 16% last year to 11% this year. The 16% in 2024 was an increase from 14% the prior year.

Students who identified as African American or Black also declined to 11.5%, a drop from 14% the year prior and 18% in 2023. International students also dropped from 18% last year to 15% this year.

As other demographic groups declined, Asian American students increased from 37% to 41%.
