[quote=Anonymous]Amherst has been a leader in promoting economic diversity -- i.e., recruiting talented kids of all races and ethnicities who come from working-class families. With re to diversity generally, the top LACs have big endowments and give generous f/a packages, so cost is no more an obstacles than at other private colleges and universities (inc. Iviies and other D# schools). To the extent that some LACs don't attract as many Latino and African-American kids from working-class and poor families, it might be related to their rural locations, which might -- in some cases-- be less appealing to those kids and their families. For example, Wellesley is very diverse (aside from gender, of course), due, in part, perhaps to its location in the Boston area. [/quote]
