I'm white, but for me, it is a LOT about having black kids at college. After all, the diversity issues' roots are totally intwined in our nation's civil rights issues. Many, many Asians and non-white foreign students don't have a problem gaining admittance or paying $50k a year for college.

So for you diversity is only about the number of black students? If that's the case we'll have to disagree. Diversity should include students from more than just two groups (black and white)  As for DIII schools, you can't really lump them all together. Some will have low numbers and others will have numbers close to schools like HYP. You will also find some DI schools with lower diversity numbers. I went to college board to check out some of the schools you mentioned. Kenyon and middlebury do have some low percentage but Amherst, Williams and bowdoin have percentages that are close to other schools. Looking at the numbers for blacks, hispanics and asians they have numbers in the 30-40% range. This is the same range at many of the big name/big money schools. Looking only at the percentages for black students Amherst and Williams both have slightly higher percentages than harvard and Yale.[/quote][/quote]
