New Science Advances paper w/ Jennifer Candipan:
Racial change doesn’t just reshape neighborhoods, it reshapes school punishment. We show Black–White suspension disparities grow in places where Black populations are changing, especially in majority White, suburban, & rural areas.

Didn't make the article but key point is, what if I told you that there was legislation in the 1800s that gave millions of dollars to HBCUs? Then what if I said it was being done to ensure that other insts never had to integrate?
