abstract="This study examined the impact of discriminatory experiences on Hispanic students' decisions concerning postsecondary enrollment. Logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with Hispanic students' decisions to attend either a 2- or a 4-year institution within the context of theory concerning college choice/success. Data were drawn from a nationally representative sample ( n = 2,210) of Hispanic students from the ELS:2002 data set. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that Hispanic students were less likely to attend a 4-year institution if they personally experienced or perceived others being discriminated against during high school. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that discriminatory high school experiences may contribute to &quot;tracking&quot; Hispanic students to the community college level.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
