(Source: Yale University)According to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, last fall's freshman class at Yale topped the Ivies in terms of black enrollments. Just under 10 percent were africanlinks-American, marking a decade-high for the university. Over the past dozen years, Yale has seen its black enrollment rise by over 16 percent.



In fact, six of the eight Ivies show increased black enrollments over that time. Only Brown (down about three percent) and Columbia (down a whopping 32 percent) declined. The biggest increase? Harvard, whose numbers have risen 48 percent over the past 13 (not 12) years.

For the record, Cornell enrolled the lowest percentage of blacks last year---4.7 percent.
