Until Wash U's population mirrors the population of the United States I think the "non diverse" community will survive. In case your confused about what the population of the United States is let me break it down. Black Population at WU 6% Black Population in US 13% Hispanic Population at WU 2% Hispanic Population in US 14% Clearly our community is failing of attracting, admitting, and retention regarding diversity. Lets not even get started on socio-economic diversity on campus. If you want to get educated, go to a WU/ FUSED meeting. sources: http://aisweb.wustl.edu/StudentRecords/home.nsf/pages/stats This school is NOT diverse. R u kidding?

In case your confused about what the population of the United States is let me break it down.

Black Population at WU 6%
Black Population in US 13%
Hispanic Population at WU 2%
Hispanic Population in US 14%

Clearly our community is failing of attracting, admitting, and retention regarding diversity. Lets not even get started on socio-economic diversity on campus. If you want to get educated, go to a WU/ FUSED meeting.

Aw why am I even writing this...go back to your regularly scheduled programming folks. “What this would do is allow us the flexibility to increase campus diversity in many ways [...]”
