代表性不足的少数民族学生成绩较低，各STEM学科的自然减员率较高，
Inequity exemplified by underrepresented minority students receiving lower grades and having higher rates of attrition across STEM disciplines
摘要：
代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生在接受教育时受到历史上根深蒂固的不平等，特别是在多样性很小的STEM学科中。为了使STEM教育公平和包容，来自不同种族/民族人口统计的学生的表现是必要的。我们使用一所大型公立大学10年的机构数据来调查亚洲，URM和白人学生申报的专业趋势，申报后下降，并获得学位以及下降或获得学位的学生的GPA。我们发现，与其他学生相比，URM学生放弃大多数专业的比例更高，这些趋势在物理和经济学领域尤其明显。此外，我们发现令人担忧的GPA趋势是，URM学生的成绩始终低于亚洲和白人同龄人。此外，在一些STEM学科中，获得学位的URM学生与放弃该专业的亚洲和白人学生获得相同的成绩。这种令人不安的趋势可能意味着缺乏足够的支持，指导和指导，以确保已经严重弱势的URM学生的卓越。这些定量研究结果要求使学习环境公平和包容，使许多URM学生谁来上大学有严重的劣势得到适当的支持，并可以优于类似于其他学生。
英文摘要：
Underrepresented minority (URM) students are subjected to historically rooted inequities when pursuing an education, especially in STEM disciplines with little diversity. In order to make STEM education equitable and inclusive, evidence for how students from different racial/ethnic demographics are faring is necessary. We use 10 years of institutional data at a large public university to investigate trends in the majors that Asian, URM, and White students declare, drop after declaring, and earn degrees in as well as the GPA of the students who drop or earn a degree. We find that higher percentages of the URM students drop most majors compared to other students and these trends are particularly pronounced in physics and economics. Moreover, we find alarming GPA trends in that the URM students consistently earn lower grades than their Asian and White peers. Furthermore, in some STEM disciplines, the URM students who earn a degree are earning the same grades as the Asian and White students who dropped the major. This troubling trend may signify lack of sufficient support, mentoring, and guidance to ensure excellence of the URM students who are already severely disadvantaged. These quantitative findings call for making learning environments equitable and inclusive so that many URM students who come to college with severe disadvantages are appropriately supported and can excel similar to other students.
