[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over-index simply means more than the statistical average based on another set of data. It wasn't a criticism, just a note that NU appeared to be both trying to "look like the country" while also not letting that desire impact merit.

The youth data tracks fairly close to national data by the way. "Just under half (49%) of all youth under age 18 were female, and 54% were under age 10. Non-Hispanic white youth accounted for 52% of the 2020 youth population, non-Hispanic Black youth accounted for 15%, and Hispanic youth accounted for one-fourth (26%)."[/quote]
Adult white population is 60%, though.  The Hispanic under 18 population is larger than the Hispanic adult population by a fair amount.

Multiracial group is growing. One day, hopefully, that group will be the majority so we can stop looking at race for everything.  Full disclosure: my kids are biracial.

Asians under 18 is 8% not 6%. Asian population is growing not shrinking.[/quote]
