Minority students more likely to face harsher discipline, and have less-experienced teachers

News release: Minority students in the United States face harsher discipline, have less access to rigorous high school curricula, and are more often taught by lower-paid and less experienced teachers, according to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. The conclusions are based on data from a national survey of more than 72,000 schools serving 85 percent of the nation’s students.
