Study: Obama-Era Guidance on Racial Disparity in Suspension Has Mixed Impact
Posted By Charles Fain Lehman On October 19, 2017 @ 5:00 am
A new study from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) casts doubt on the success of an Obama-era guidance meant to reduce racial disparity in school suspensions, arguing that it did not always reduce racial disparity, confused causes of suspensions, and may not be in the best interest of teachers.
The study, which focuses on Wisconsin schools, found a 41 percent decline in suspensions since 2007-2008. The racial disparity has closed some statewide, but has remained essentially unchanged in Milwaukee Public Schools, where half of all African-American students in the state are educated.
