You're not worth responding to ,but of course UVA doesn't condone that.  I was there that day with Teresa Sullivan.  No one at UVA knew they alt.right group was going to try and parade through UVA.  No one.  And, of course, all the horrible stuff that followed was at a particular park where the alt. righters had a permit to protest the removal of a confederate statue.  NO intelligent person at UVA thinks that there is any link.  And UVA has done a tremendous amount of "good works" since then to make sure that UVA is black friendly.  [b]In fact, in the last two years, black admissions have reached record levels[/b].[/quote]

That is incorrect.  In the Fall of 2018, Black students comprised 7.1% of the undergraduate enrollment at UVA.   In the Fall of 1992, Black students comprised 11.5% of the undergraduate enrollment at UVA.  Black enrollment as a percentage of overall undergraduate enrollment has been declining.  Virginia's population is 19.2% Black, so UVA's enrollment percentage is significantly lower.

You may have been thinking of "Persons of Color" rather than Black.  But Persons of Color includes Asians.  The percentage of Asians at UVA has gone from 8.4% in 1992 to 15% in 2018.[/quote]

And the schools has grown a ton since the 90s. What are the actually numbers of students? [b]I bet the 7% of today is a larger group than the 11% of 1992. [/b][/quote]

[b]No.  1,427 black undergraduate students at UVA in 1992.  1,133 in 2018.

The UVA Class of 2023 includes 35 percent minority students, an increase from the 34 percent in the Class of 2022.  If you include international students, the undergrad class is 40% minority.[/quote]

[b]Percentage of students that are black is going down.[/quote][/b]

Incorrect, per President James Ryan's  statement at convocation last week, the percentage of black students increased for the class of 2023.[/quote]

[b]No.  Just look at the real stats in the SCHEV website.[/quote][/b]

SCHEV, being a reporting service for the Commonwealth of Virginia,  is always a year or two behind because it is reporting old statistics.  The new  UVA class of 2023 is the most diverse in the history of the school:  "he Class of 2023 includes 35 percent minority students, an increase from the 34 percent in the Class of 2022. In particular, the African American population has increased from 6.5 percent to 6.8 percent".
