Hispanics are the fastest-growing group of high school graduates in the nation, but their lagging college-attendance rates raise economic and educational challenges for the Southeast and the nation, a policy bulletin suggests.
The web edition of the 2005 Fact Book on Higher Education is available from the Southern Regional Education Board.
