But what percentage of college students are black? (sincere question, couldn't find the answer from a quick search). Without knowing that I don't think it's fair to say they aren't doing a great job. Just because other colleges are doing better, doesn't mean Yale is doing bad.

edit: This report says 14% of college enrolled U.S. residents were black in 2017. But that makes it sound like it doesn't include international students.

According to this [1], Black students make up 15% of the enrolled student population. Therefore Harvard, MIT and Yale are all under par.
