In the two-year black transfer analysis, the paper reports black women relative to black men are "28 percent less likely to drop out," less likely to fail an engineering course, and "25 percent more likely to graduate in engineering in six years." These percentage differences are descriptive; no standardized effect size is printed.

"Black women are 28 percent less likely to drop out, IS percent less likely to fail an engineering course, and 25 percent more likely to graduate in engineering in six years than black men."
