[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the article there are 42 percent students of color. Do the math.....there are definetly non athlete African Americans at Maret. Maret has to be one if the most diverse independent schools around. [/quote] This is a can of worms... but... does this include East &/or South-Central Asian-Americans? Students of Middle-Eastern or Hispanic descent? How do schools define "of color"? It seems somewhat misleading, like they're trying to imply that they're encouraging and assisting URM's, & that "of color" means "look at us, we're giving these kids from the 'hood an education because we're just such good people". I'm looking for diversity in my kids' future school, but I'd like economic, religious, and cultural diversity, not just "we have different skin tones but our dads all work at [local international company/think tank]".
